Job Details
Good Things Foundation is the UK's leading digital inclusion charity, working to ensure everyone can benefit from digital.
Our new strategy grounds us in the ecosystem of digital inclusion systems change, and this role is significant to delivering it. The role holder will support the Associate Director CCA and the Director of Evidence and Engagement in executing the organisation’s advocacy, policy, and public affairs work - driving systems change and positioning Good Things Foundation as a key component in the digital inclusion landscape.
Sitting at the intersection of political insight, data-driven research, and community action, this role is critical to executing our advocacy and public affairs strategy. You will work closely with our senior leadership to engage parliamentarians, government bodies, strategic regional authorities, and civil society partners to ensure digital inclusion is prioritised across national and devolved policy agendas.
Your core focus will involve drafting sharp, evidence-based policy responses, consultation submissions, and briefings tailored for Westminster and sector regulators. Alongside direct written advocacy, you will help represent Good Things Foundation at external forums, build lasting relationships with key policy influencers, and track our ongoing legislative and policy impact.
Crucially, you will bridge the gap between national politics and community realities. You will coordinate with our 5,000+ strong National Digital Inclusion Network to ensure grassroots insights and lived experience directly inform national policy debates. Additionally, you will support high-impact advocacy events, manage our presence at political party conferences, and organise MP visits to local digital inclusion hubs, all while collaborating across our communications team to amplify our mission through opinion pieces and digital content.
We welcome applications from candidates whose professional and personal experience will bring new perspectives, understanding and capacity to the organisation; and who are ready to rise to the opportunities of this role.
Further information on the role, our benefits package and how to apply can be found on the Good Things Foundation website.
