Strategic Lead – Right to Health at Just Fair

This new role will lead the next phase of the campaign, working with our experienced and well respected team, as well as our extensive network, to make the political case for the better legal recognition and real-world protection for the right to health. 

This will include: developing engaging and compelling communications, driving parliamentary engagement, building strategic partnerships, and mobilising civil society to advance the right to health in the UK. 

Our ideal candidate

You will be a passionate and experienced advocate for health, human, social or environmental rights, committed to driving meaningful change in the UK. You will bring proven expertise in leading policy, advocacy, or parliamentary engagement work – ideally within health, human rights, social or environmental justice sectors – and thrive in building strong, strategic relationships with government, civil society, and community stakeholders.

You will have a good understanding of the structural causes of health inequality and the power of human rights frameworks to address them. You will know how the UK political and parliamentary systems work, and you are skilled at influencing these processes through clear, compelling narratives backed by evidence.

You are able to communicate with clarity and impact, tailoring your message to diverse audiences – from policymakers to grassroots activists. You are confident working independently and collaboratively within a small, flexible team, balancing strategic vision with practical delivery. Your approach is solutions-focused, inclusive, and grounded in the lived realities of people affected by health inequalities.

Most importantly, you are motivated by the opportunity to join a dynamic and well respected organisation and lead a strategic campaign that challenges the status quo and contributes to a fairer, more just UK.
