Policy areas where the Forum is currently organising conferences include obesity, agricultural policy, food waste, future of the food and drink industry and agricultural technology.

The role
• Highly demanding but very rewarding - in a company that is commercially focused and expanding, but with a strong ethical heart;
• Part of a small team working on all aspects of event production;
• Following latest policy developments and news from the sector - and researching issues, possible speakers and contacts;
• Drafting agendas and promotional text for the seminars;
• Liaising with speakers and chairs; and
• Attending and contributing to the smooth operation of our seminars and receptions.

What we are looking for
• Quick learners who can hit the ground running;
• Some solid work experience - in policy, conference production, journalism, public affairs or similar fields;
• Bright graduates with exceptional aptitude and professional outlook will also be considered;
• Practical focus and passionate about helping achieve our mission of providing policy makers with the context to make best decisions;
• Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills - and quick to learn;
• Ability to assimilate information quickly, identify key issues from a range of stakeholder viewpoints (in line with our core proposition of impartiality);
• Clear, stylish accurate writing is essential; and
• Knowledge of the food and farming sector is preferable but not essential.
