For over a century, The King’s Fund has worked to improve people’s health and care. We tackle the thorniest questions facing our health and care system, and in turn society. We do this through our research, analysis and insight; leadership and organisational development with health and care leaders; convening and events; and partnering with others. With bold thinking for better health, we’re on a mission to inspire hope and confidence that we can create a world where everyone lives a healthy life.

About

The Role

The Press and Public Affairs Manager role is an opportunity to join our dynamic and fast-paced team working on issues at the top of the political agenda.

The King’s Fund has a strong presence in the media, a respected voice in parliament, and extensive connections across the health and care sectors. With the nation’s health worsening, health and care services facing challenges on multiple fronts, and the government embarking on an extensive reform agenda as it implements its 10 Year Health Plan, we are looking for a Press and Public Affairs Manager to join our team for a year and help ensure our work has even more impact.

The successful applicant will lead strategic communications, working with internal colleagues and external clients. The role will focus on working with journalists to secure high levels of media coverage for our work, regular parliamentary engagement including engaging with new health legislation, and close working with government and national stakeholders.

We are seeking candidates with a proven track-record in delivering first-class media relations, the ability to develop strong working relationships with clients and stakeholders, and the skills to analyse and articulate complex policy issues. In return, we are offering the opportunity to work on some of the biggest policy issues facing the nation, working alongside leading experts in a friendly and supportive charity.

Here at the Fund, we actively encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBT+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge as we recognise that diversity makes us stronger.

The Fund is committed to a hybrid working model that meets the organisation’s needs, while giving staff flexibility to choose between office and home working. Staff are expected to work a minimum of 40% from our central London office and are free to work more days from the office if they prefer.
