Can you help us deliver an exciting programme of work that makes a difference? We are looking for a motivated, meticulous and talented graduate with experience in the broad area of events, advocacy, external affairs and/or policy, who has a can-do approach, is motivated, meticulous, shows initiative and enjoys being part of a small, friendly and dynamic team.
Working closely with the Head of Policy and Public Affairs and others in the Academy and its Campaign, you will help to deliver a range of events, website content and communications to raise awareness of the social sciences and their vital role in tackling society’s challenges. You will also support work with the Academy’s esteemed Fellowship, some of which involves administration.
The Academy of Social Sciences is a unique and independent UK charitable organisation that brings together the best in the social sciences, from across academia, policy, and practice. We are a highly respected and established professional body, and the only UK organisation dedicated wholly to the promotion of social science.
It’s an exciting time to be joining. Our new strategy sets out our vision for the next five years, which includes expanding our events programme and exploiting more fully the synergies between our campaign, policy, advocacy and communications work to deliver impact, as well as delivering some important new projects.
This is a great opportunity for a graduate, ideally in one of the social science disciplines, who is looking to deepen their broad-brush career experience so far, and take more responsibility within a small team. You will have relevant work experience since graduating, including event organising experience, and be able and willing to work from home. You will be bright, flexible and with experiences and ideas to deliver programmes of engagement, and have excellent IT and written and verbal communication skills. You will have good attention to detail, an appreciation of the importance of analytics, a willingness to work hard and to use initiative, and enjoy being part of a small team at the heart of the organisation. You will bring good interpersonal skills and a sense of humour.
