Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it motivates our award-winning Policy and Influencing team to maintain the NSPCC's position as an influential, informed and forceful voice at every level. Join us as a Policy and Public Affairs Assistant (Wales and Child Safety Online) and be part of progress that means more
The postholder will use their skills and experience to strengthen the NSPCC's impact on public policy and legislation, and in doing so make a significant contribution to keeping children safe. They will be responsible for undertaking a range of work to achieve the NSPCC's strategic goals. This will include:
- providing an effective and efficient administrative support service to the team
- supporting policy analysis and development, policy research and public affairs and influencing activities
- supporting participation work in Wales and across the Child Safety Online workstream.
The post holder will be based in the Policy and Influencing Team in Wales, assisting with parliamentary monitoring, research and policy analysis, managing engagements with external audiences and organising events. The post holder will also support colleagues in our UK Child Safety Online work, with a particular focus on supporting the organisation of participation activities with children and young people and project delivery across the team's work. This is a great opportunity to develop policy and public affairs skills in an authoritative and well-respected children's charity.
We're looking for someone with a clear commitment to the NSPCC's vision to working together to stop child abuse and neglect, and excellent administrative and IT skills to support with managing engagements with external audiences and organising events. Our new colleague will also have strong skills in researching, analysing and summarising key information. Finally, we're looking for someone who works well across different teams and can support a range of policy projects.
Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.

Safer Recruitment
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.
Trauma Informed
At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
