About the role
An advocacy and communications assistant helps produce accurate content, track public conversations and support campaigns that seek a clear change. The panel is looking for concise writing, ethical use of people's stories, sound judgement about evidence and organised delivery across different channels.
How to prepare
- Review how to separate a communication objective, target audience, key message and call to action.
- Practise rewriting a technical programme finding in plain language without changing its meaning.
- Prepare examples of content you drafted, edited or scheduled and explain your contribution.
- Think through consent, dignity and privacy when using personal stories or images.
- Review how you would correct published information quickly and transparently.
Common mistakes
- Using emotional stories without clear consent or enough protection for the person involved.
- Turning limited evidence into a claim that the programme cannot support.
- Describing advocacy as awareness alone without identifying the change being requested.
