There's never been a better time to join the team at Cycling UK! We have launched an ambitious new strategy - and we want you to

making us healthier and happier, cycling can help us all thrive.

At Cycling UK, we want everyone to enjoy the benefits cycling offers to people and the planet. Our new strategy focusses on
encouraging more short journeys by bike; promoting cycling as a popular, enjoyable, and safe activity for everyone; and striving
to make every cycling experience a great one. Come with us on our journey and help us have more impact than ever before!

This role will work to build and lead Cycling UK's new policy and public affairs team, which has been established as part of
Cycling UK's exciting new strategy. You'll have responsibility for raising Cycling UK's profile, improving our reputation and
increasing our influence among key policy makers right across the UK. You'll be developing and implementing evidence-based
political strategies in line with the charity's strategic objectives. This is a maternity cover role with a fixed term contract
until 31 December 2025.
