About The RoleWould you like to play a key part in influencing national decisionmakers across Wales, England and Northern Ireland to drive major, positive change in the dementia policy space? Then this could be the role for you. Sitting within Alzheimer's Society's National Influencing team, as our new National Influencing Officer you would be instrumental in delivering innovative, engaging, collaborative, and evidence-based influencing work. You'd be ensuring that political and health system stakeholders are acting on the biggest issues affecting people living with dementia, working closely with other teams to drive work that is integrated locally and nationally. While this role is predominantly focused on delivering national influencing activity in Wales, you'll also be part of a fluid and flexible team that operates across boundaries and supports with our political work in England and Northern Ireland. This is an exciting time for dementia policy in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We have the chance to ensure that governments are prioritising dementia and the needs of all those affected by the condition. Our National Influencing Officer will be at the forefront of taking on this vitally important challenge. About the role Every day, people affected by dementia tell us what matters most to them. We listen, learn, and use what they share, alongside evidence and research, to influence real change. What would it take to make sure those voices are truly heard by the people making decisions? As our National Influencing Officer, you will help make sure those voices are heard by the people making decisions. Working across Wales and as part of a three nations team, you will build relationships with politicians, decision makers and health leaders to help improve support and services for people affected by dementia. In this role, you will: - Lead or support political engagement across Wales and potentially other UK nations, using your knowledge of parliamentary structures and influencing routes to drive change. - Provide oversight and coordination of political monitoring and stakeholder engagement activity. - Plan and deliver impactful public affairs (or similar) events, including parliamentary receptions, breakfast meetings, roundtables, and party conference activity. - Translate evidence-based policy positions into compelling and effective influencing strategies that achieve real-world impact. - Build delivery plans focused on meaningful outcomes and measure their success through evaluation and learning. - Produce high-quality, accessible content to inform and engage stakeholders, using strong presentational and communication skills. About you You care about improving the lives of people affected by dementia. You are curious, proactive and enjoy working with others to make things happen. What motivates you to turn complex issues into clear action that leads to change? You may already have experience in public affairs, policy, advocacy or a related field. Or your experience may come from a different route, such as community work, lived experience, or another role where you have influenced change. You will bring: - Excellent knowledge of the political and health system and how to influence national decisionmakers. - A strong understanding of the external political environment and a proven track record in political or similar stakeholder management at a national level. - Experience engaging proactively with national politicians and decisionmakers, acting as the first point of contact for their teams. - Confidence and credibility in working with both internal and external stakeholders, with the ability to influence across geographical and organisational boundaries. - A proven ability to operate and thrive in fast-paced, multi-dimensional environments, and to adapt well to change and ambiguity. - Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex data into accessible, impactful content and recommendations. - Experience working across multiple UK nations in complex influencing environments. - A commitment to involving people with lived experience - such as those with dementia or long-term health conditions - in your work. We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences. You do not need to meet every requirement to apply. If this role excites you and you want to make a difference, we would love to hear from you. Welsh language is not essential for this role, but we welcome applications from Welsh language speakers.
