We're recruiting a Policy and Parliamentary Relations Manager to gain the support needed from UK parliamentarians for legislation, regulation, policy and practice that addresses misinformation online and to press for changes that will improve debate by politicians and the democratic process.

You’ll play a central part in our work to stop the harm caused by misinformation, improve the standard of public debate and make sure people get the facts they deserve. You’ll be joining the team at a pivotal and exciting time ahead of the next general election.
