Central London with hybrid working, 35 hours, 10-month fixed term contract (maternity cover)

There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.

As International Policy Manager, you’ll use your positive attitude, your knowledge of the external policy landscape and quality standards for policy change and your ability to develop effective policy positioning, solutions and strategies for influencing change.

It’s a job full of possibilities as you will be involved in anything from drafting and developing clear, high quality evidence-based policy reports which include credible policy solutions to managing the RCN’s engagement with international alliances and working within our governance framework to support RCN member committees. We’ll look to you to ensure staff members have clear policy and influencing work plans aligned with key strategic priorities to deliver high quality outputs within deadlines. It’s a great way to build your knowledge of our work and develop your potential.
