Policy Connect is looking for an ambitious Project Coordinator for a stimulating and impactful position within our accessibility policy team, focusing on assistive and accessible technology (ATech).

Our work on ATech policy is conducted by producing research reports with recommendations to government, organising meetings of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for ATech (held in the House of Commons and House of Lords), and delivering policy workshops as part of our ATech Policy Lab.

The role holder will focus on:

• Organising policy events, including researching topics, speakers and attendees; writing pre‑event background briefings; and post‑event outcomes papers.
• Policy monitoring (including producing our annual briefing on the year’s ATech policy developments), and staying informed about relevant political, legislative and policy news.
• External communications (including Linked In posts and a quarterly newsletter).

In the medium to long term, the focus of the role can be flexible and can respond to the interests, skills and preferences of the chosen candidate.

• Passion for disability policy and interest in technology policy.
• Strong organisational and project management skills.
• Excellent writing and desk‑research skills, with the ability to synthesise complex information and present it with concision and clarity.
• Able to work autonomously (i.e. exploiting opportunities and solving problems, while also making considered judgements about how and when to enlist support and guidance from more experienced colleagues).
• Experience of working in a policy or public affairs environment.
• Experience of working in the technology or disability sectors.
• Experience of organising public events.

• Paid leave for volunteering: up to 4 days per annum, pro rata (i.e. 2 days in this case)
• Learning and development programme (collective and individual) and the opportunity to attain professional qualifications.
• Interest‑free loans for transport
• Flexible working arrangements
• Employee Assistance Programme
