We have a rare opportunity for an experienced policy professional to join our team as Policy Analyst, working to shape the national conversation on mental health at a time of significant political and policy developments.
In this exciting role you will lead the policy workstream for Head On, a major Wellcome Trust funded campaign bringing together 20 sector leading organisations to build political momentum for mental health reform. You will be a skilled policy analyst and writer, able to coordinate influencing opportunities with MPs, Ministers and No. 10 on the NHS 10 Year Plan and the new Mental Health Strategy. Experience in policy and public affairs, and knowledge of health or mental health policy, are essential.
Centre for Mental Health is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work, to help create better mental health for all. We are taking active steps to become an antiracist organisation, and we value and support staff with lived experience of mental health challenges. We want the team shaping mental health policy to reflect the diversity of people whose lives that policy affects. We particularly encourage applications from people of colour and trans people, who are often underrepresented in policy roles. We are happy to provide reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process for disabled applicants.
We are also able to offer this role as a potential secondment opportunity.
