Do you enjoy writing and editing clear and engaging information? If you can critically review information and think about wider implications, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
The role
As a Policy Officer Intern, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring that Adult Social Care & Health (ASCH) staff have access to clear, up to date and meaningful information on policy and plans that support their day-to-day roles. You will play an important role in undertaking research of national policy and legislative changes, analysing implications and coordinating feedback with operational teams. You will work closely with the Policy Unit, the wider Policy and Strategic Development Team, and teams from across the ASCH department to develop and coordinate plans and policy documents that underpin organisational and departmental priorities and legally compliant services.
Much like adult social care itself, the role is broad, fast paced and helps ASCH meet its statutory duties and make a meaningful difference to practitioners and the people they support.
We are looking for someone with
- Clear, confident and concise written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to analyse information, think critically and consider wider implications across the department
- Ability to use technology such as Microsoft 365 (e.g. Outlook, Excel, Word)
