80 people are dying every day from alcohol across the UK – and the UK Government is not doing enough to stop this. Join our small but mighty team to help drive change and improve the lives of people affected by alcohol.
Smart Thinking is looking for a Policy and Advocacy Manager to lead our campaigns across a range of topics and get the UK Government to take action on alcohol harm. Our work has never been more urgent: the Covid-19 pandemic has caused more high-risk drinking, greater health inequalities, and increased pressures on families affected by alcohol. Alcohol deaths rose to record levels during 2020.
Purpose of Role
You will be leading on campaigning and policy activities for the Alcohol Health Alliance. You will identify opportunities to influence policy development and legislation, get Parliamentarians and other stakeholders to take action in support of our campaign priorities, and engage our supporters and AHA members to generate even greater impact.
It is an exciting and varied role that cuts across public affairs, campaigns and policy work. You will be working on a range of alcohol harm related policy areas, including some of the biggest social and political issues of the day such as addiction, health inequalities, marketing, domestic abuse, homelessness, and the influence of business in setting government policy.
