Policy and Campaigns Officer

We are looking for a Policy and Campaigns Officer to join the Community Transport Association (CTA). 

This is an exciting new role, created to strengthen CTA’s voice as a credible, effective and influential advocate for community transport across the UK. Working closely with our Head of Policy & Campaigns and colleagues across the organisation, you will help develop policy positions, produce clear and authoritative briefings, coordinate campaign activity and build relationships that help influence change.

You will play an important role in ensuring the views and experiences of community transport operators, staff, volunteers and passengers are reflected in our work. The role will support CTA’s wider policy and campaigns activity, including consultation responses, public affairs materials, stakeholder engagement and campaign delivery.

We are looking for someone with strong relationship-building and communication skills, experience of working with evidence to inform policy or campaigning, and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively. An understanding of UK politics, policymaking and legislative processes will be important in helping you succeed in the role.

CTA is the UK charity that leads and advocates for the community transport movement. Community transport helps people access the services, opportunities and connections they need to live independently and be part of their communities.
