Dear Colleagues
The Social Platform is advertising for two policy officers. As our members might be interested please see the information following:
Social Platform is the largest civil society alliance fighting for social justice and participatory democracy in Europe. Consisting of 42 pan-European networks of NGOs, Social Platform campaigns to ensure that EU policies are developed in partnership with the people they affect, respecting fundamental rights, promoting solidarity and improving lives.
To contribute to its development, Social Platform is looking to recruit 2 Policy Officers. These are full-time positions, but we are open to alternative arrangements in order to facilitate work life balance.
Your tasks
Together with the Director and the Social Platform working groups (attended by policy staff from members’ organisations), you will work to strengthen the capacity of our members to take an active part in key EU processes, as well as developing and implementing the policy strategies and objectives of the Platform. You will also help to implement the communications strategy of Social Platform, together with our Communications and Information Officers.

· Experience in leading a campaign at EU level
· Experience in organising working groups

Desirable
· Experience of working in NGOs
· Knowledge of other European languages, particularly French
What we offer
· Be part of a movement that is actively working to achieve positive social change
