Join the Network

Reporting to the Parliamentary and Stakeholder Engagement Manager, you will maintain accountability and transparency of information to Parliament and stakeholder organisations through effective engagement.

As a Parliamentary & Stakeholder Officer you will respond to information requests from parliamentarians while supporting an ongoing programme of engagement between inspection colleagues and MPs.

You will support national and local Parliamentary and stakeholder engagement activity which may include; briefing Members of Parliament on CQC’s work and local inspection findings; supporting CQC inspection teams with their parliamentary engagement through briefings, meeting support and quality assurance of correspondence; and supporting and advising CQC’s Executive Team on effective parliamentary and stakeholder engagement.

About you

Your degree level education, or equivalent qualification, will complement your professional experience of working in a public affairs, parliamentary or stakeholder engagement environment. Aware of government and parliamentary processes and interested in current affairs, you will have a flair for analysis and translating complex information into digestible briefs, concise summaries and presentations. You will thrive in a busy communications environment and while health and social care experience would make you stand out, it is not essential. You will also be willing and able to work to tight deadlines.

Here at CQC, we make sure health and social care services provide people with effective, compassionate and high quality care and encourage services to make improvements. We monitor, inspect and regulate services to ensure they meet fundamental standards of quality and safety and we publish what we find to help people choose care.
