As Senior Policy Administrator, you will work as part of a team to carry out research and analysis to provide evidence for policy solutions, which will influence policymakers to improve patient care and the working lives of our members.
The Senior Policy Administrator is a key role within the Policy and Quality Team, as you will monitor and maintain a database of parliamentary proceedings and share this intelligence with the policy team. You will also support with the engagement of relevant politicians, including organising meetings and preparing written and oral meeting briefings for College Officers.
Reporting to the Policy Manager, you will also assist by monitoring and analysing NHS A&E waiting times, whilst providing secretariat and administrative support to the College's five operational regional boards.
This is an extremely exciting opportunity which requires no prior experience of policy and is ideal for someone who has the enthusiasm, analytical and administrative skills to start or switch to a career in policy.
Degree qualified, ideally in an analytical discipline, or perhaps with relevant work experience, you will have excellent general administrative skills and a background in organising and delivering meetings.
With experience of carrying out research projects, you should also have knowledge of Public Policy or Politics along with a desire to learn about Health Policy and Emergency Medicine.
A committed team player with a demonstrable background of collaborative working, you should have excellent communication skills and the ability to build and maintain excellent relationships with stakeholders.

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) was established in 2008 by Royal Charter as a charitable body. It is the body responsible for training and professional matters for Emergency Medicine doctors in the UK.
In the UK, Emergency Medicine is perhaps more commonly described as that type of medicine delivered through NHS A&E Departments. In terms of a formal definition Emergency Medicine is described as: "Emergency Medicine is a field of practice based on the knowledge and skills required for the prevention, diagnosis and management of acute and urgent aspects of illness and injury affecting patients of all age groups with a full spectrum of undifferentiated physical and behavioural disorders. It further encompasses an understanding of the development of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency medical systems and the skills necessary for this development."
