EuroHealthNet’s activities take place across three complementary Platforms covering Policy, Practice, and Research. A core management and operations team unifies and builds connections between the Platforms. Within the core team, communications activities amplify the messages and expertise of the EuroHealthNet Partnership.
The core team is responsible for EuroHealthNet governance, strategic planning, and member outreach efforts, as well as administrative matters such as finance, human resources and operations. The Programme Managers, in close cooperation with the Director, oversee the links between EuroHealthNet’s core operating grant and our other European projects and alliances while ensuring the overall coherence of the business plan and alignment with strategic objectives. Project work enables collaboration with members and key stakeholders, supports policy design and advocacy, drives implementation and advances research in the field of health inequalities and determinants of health.
In line with the ‘health in all policies’ approach, EuroHealthNet’s Policy Platform provides policy monitoring and analysis for the EuroHealthNet Partnership. It aims to ensure that WHO/Europe and EU initiatives contribute to better health now, and in the future. It advocates for national and European policies and approaches relating to health equity, social rights and the wider determinants which affect health and wellbeing, based on evidence and good practice.
EuroHealthNet is currently looking for a motivated highly-skilled Policy Manager to join its dynamic team in Brussels. The experienced Policy Manager will lead EuroHealthNet’s policy and advocacy work towards improving health, equity and wellbeing in EU and international policies and approaches, including social, employment, economic, environmental, digital and other relevant policies.
The Policy Manager plays a crucial role in managing EuroHealthNet’s policy and advocacy activities, including by conducting policy research and analysis in cooperation with colleagues, engaging with EuroHealthNet members, health and social stakeholders, providing expert advice to the European Commission, supporting the development of projects and grant proposals, and representing EuroHealthNet at relevant EU and international stakeholder groups. The Policy Manager oversees the development of EuroHealthNet’s annual policy and advocacy plans, oversees the Policy Platform and supports the policy team in its implementation, and ensures coherence with EuroHealthNet’s work in the Practice and Research Platform.
The successful candidate will join our Management Team, currently composed of the Director and three Programme Managers. This is a position of high visibility and high responsibility, providing ample opportunities for professional growth and development. The Policy Manager will work on specific tasks as set out below, but would also be encouraged to contribute with its experience and knowledge to ensure credible, accurate and high-quality outputs across EuroHealthNet’s work programme.
The post is directly accountable to the Director, with constant liaison and coordination with the Programme Managers, as well as the Policy Platform team and Operations and Communications teams.
