ADCS is looking to appoint a new Policy Officer to our small but perfectly formed team based in central Manchester. As a Policy Officer at ADCS, you’ll work at a national level with ADCS members right across England, government officials and other key partners e.g. the Local Government Association. Relationship building and communication is at the heart of everything we do. The successful candidate will support the Association’s policy work via national ADCS policy networks, project work, and task and finish groups, while also liaising with government departments and other external stakeholders. You’ll enjoy autonomy and the chance to influence the Association’s priorities and engagements nationally. We welcome your ambition, are open to your ideas and will offer you plenty of support along the way. You can look forward to a package that includes flexible hybrid working, a high quality Manchester City Centre-based office environment, a competitive salary and pension scheme, along with a generous annual leave allocation in addition to bank holidays.
