What’s it like to work at Policy in Practice?
“There are a lot of client-facing opportunities, as a technical person, to be right in front of customers to make sure that the product that we’re building is meeting their needs. It’s always great when you hear customers share their stories of how they’ve used our tools to effectively target support to residents.
“I was passionate about making an impact and I think if you have those two things, for a technical role here at Policy in Practice, that’s more than enough.”
Terrin Mathew, Technical Data Analyst
“It’s not just crunching numbers, it’s thinking about that in context. We’re always chatting to clients or people that are using our free benefit calculator and we are having to discuss the policy issues behind the data. There have been so many opportunities. I’ve been on TV talking about the British welfare system and policy, meeting clients as well as improving my own data analysis skills.”
Louise Murphy, Senior Policy and Operations Analyst
“I set up Policy in Practice to change how policy is communicated to people. If it’s clear and simple, you put power in the hands of the citizen so they can make the decisions that are right for them. It is about making a fundamental difference on the front line.”
Deven Ghelani, Director and Founder
“There’s a lot of opportunity to move up very quickly onto very interesting projects. Also very quickly, with some supervision, you can have leadership over your own project or even over some ideas that you might have. People here are very rigorous with the work that they do, and conscientious.”
Juan Alvarez, Policy Analyst
“The world’s your oyster! If you want to grow with the company you absolutely can. People can come in and make huge progress really quickly.”
Frances Sinclair, Head of Admin Services
“The best part of my job is that as a 21-year old I’m able to get in a room with some of the most senior people in local government and pitch to them. I like the challenge of dealing with senior people and the fact I get to do that so early in my career.”
Oscar Jefferson, Junior Account Manager
“Generous, kind, smart and motivated people that I’ve had the privilege of working with – just the best people. That combination of people who are very interested in the intricacies and understanding the problem and really delving into the mechanics of policy and how to solve problems combined with a motivation to really effect positive change to make a difference.”
Ben Fell, Head of Analysis
