We are looking for an ambitious, driven, and passionate Policy Lead, who is strategically minded yet hands on. This is a fantastic opportunity to genuinely make a difference and know each day that the work you do has true purpose.
As the National Body for Neurodiversity, the Donaldson Trust is a catalyst for change. We believe there is a genuine opportunity to change society for better. We aim to be at the forefront of driving this change, and make a difference with, and for, neurodivergent people.
We're a team filled with caring and talented individuals who work together to create positive change, and you'll be part of a team dedicated to giving neurodivergent people a voice and contributing to our vision of a society in which neurodivergent people are understood, accepted, treated fairly and valued.
You will be responsible for leading the Trust’s contribution to national and local consultations, policy campaigns and internal and external research studies. You will ensure at all times the voices of neurodivergent people, those using our services, partners, stakeholders and colleagues are represented. By doing so you will ensure the Donaldson Trust has visibility, credibility and influence across a broad range of policy and decision makers in Scotland and UK wide.
This is initially a standalone position with the potential to build a small team.
You will have proven experience of working in a policy role, planning and delivering campaigns of influence and strong knowledge of policy landscape in Scotland and the UK. With excellent interpersonal, communication and collaborative skills, you will be highly self-motivated and demonstrate a positive “can do” attitude.
This is a full time position, but we’re happy to discuss flexible working.
