The MND Association is committed to improving care and support for people with motor neurone disease (MND), as well as their families and carers.
They fund and promote research aimed at advancing understanding, treatments, and ultimately, a cure for MND. Through campaigning and raising awareness, they ensure the needs of people with MND and their carers are recognised and addressed in society.
As a Senior Policy Advisor, you will lead on policy related to research and healthcare, focusing on innovation and clinical trials across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
You’ll play a key role in analysing the MND research landscape, identifying challenges, and developing solutions.

You’ll also prepare briefing materials, respond to consultations, and produce policy reports.
The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the policy environment related to research and healthcare, particularly in the fields of innovation and clinical trials.
You should have substantial experience in analysing and developing policies, with a proven track record in policy research, analysis, and advocacy.
A strong knowledge of NHS structures and the UK political system, including government departments and the devolved administrations, is essential.
You must possess excellent communication, negotiation, and influencing skills, with the ability to interpret complex policy issues and devise practical solutions.
Strong organisational and project management skills are also required to balance priorities and meet deadlines effectively.
If you're passionate about making a difference for those affected by MND and have the skills to drive policy change, we encourage you to submit your CV at first instance.
