Guide Dogs is looking for two policy officers to join our award-winning Policy, Public Affairs and Campaigns team.

At Guide Dogs we’re passionate about making a difference to the lives of people with sight loss. And our passion is persuasive. As a much-loved and respected charity, we have a track record of successful campaigns that bring about meaningful change. We have strong relationships with politicians and are consistently named by MPs as one of the most influential charities.

We are recruiting two policy officers: one to support our work on making the built environment and transport accessible and inclusive, as well as working on our campaigns to tackle guide dog access refusals (Live Actively). The other policy officer will work on our campaigns to ensure that children and young people get the support they need to flourish (Live Independently & Well).

In these roles you will have the opportunity to shape and develop evidenced-based policy positions, draft consultation responses and policy briefings; monitor and respond to relevant policy developments; support the implementation of the public affairs strategy; and support the mobilisation of the public and our campaigns supporters and volunteers.

We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.

We value in-person collaboration with our teams, so we are looking for you to attend the office at least 2/3 days per week, and occasionally over weekends for party conferences.
