The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) is seeking an organised and proactive Policy and External Affairs Assistant to support the delivery of our influential policy, public affairs and external engagement work across the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the College’s Policy and External Affairs Department, providing vital administrative and project support across three key teams: Health Policy, Policy and Public Affairs (Devolved Nations), and Media and Public Affairs. Working at the heart of the College’s policy and advocacy activity, you will help ensure that the voices of paediatricians and children’s health professionals are heard and reflected in national policy development.

Reporting to the Policy Manager, you will play a central role in supporting committees, coordinating member engagement activities, managing communications and assisting with policy projects. You will work closely with senior officers, committee chairs, members and colleagues across the College to help deliver high-quality policy and public affairs activity that supports better health outcomes for children and young people.

Key responsibilities include:

Supporting the administration of policy and public affairs committees, including preparing agendas, papers, minutes and action logs
Providing guidance and administrative support to committee Chairs, Officers and members
Responding to member enquiries and correspondence through desk-based research and liaison with policy colleagues and subject experts
Supporting policy projects, task and finish groups, events and stakeholder engagement activities
Coordinating and administering the Policy and External Affairs member insights network, including communications, database management and event support
Assisting with the development, review and maintenance of College policy position statements and consultation responses
Supporting the drafting and publication of policy updates, reports and briefing materials
Preparing reports for committees and Executive Committee meetings
Supporting College Officers and senior stakeholders with administrative and project-related activities
Coordinating eBulletins, member communications and digital content across multiple channels
Managing and updating policy and public affairs content on the RCPCH website

Essential skills and experience include:

Degree-level qualification or equivalent relevant professional experience
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including strong report-writing abilities
Strong research skills with the ability to analyse, summarise and present complex information clearly
Experience working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders and teams
Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities
Ability to maintain high levels of accuracy when handling information, data and documentation
Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams
Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships and communicate effectively at all levels
Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and professionalism
Strong administrative skills and a proactive, solutions-focused approach to work

Desirable:

Experience working within child health, healthcare, membership organisations or professional bodies
Formal project management training or experience supporting projects
Experience using customer relationship management (CRM) databases and/or finance systems

The RCPCH has more than 25,000 members and fellows worldwide and employs around 200 staff. Most staff are based in our London office in Holborn, with teams also working across the devolved nations.

Our values — Include, Influence, Innovate and Inspire — guide how we work together. We are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and welcome applications from candidates with protected characteristics. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and disabled candidates who are under-represented at this level of the organisation.

The College operates a flexible and modern hybrid working policy, with colleagues spending 40% of their working time in the office over a four-week cycle and the remainder working from home.

The RCPCH is committed to safeguarding the children, young people and adults it has contact with. All staff are expected to share this commitment. Employment is subject to satisfactory references and appropriate screening checks.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if sufficient applications are received. If you are interested, please submit your application as soon as possible.
