Joe Shalam

Policy Director

I am very pleased to return to the CSJ in 2025 as Policy Director.

Having cut my teeth at the CSJ in wide-ranging policy roles between 2016 and 2023, more recently I had the privilege to work in HM Government as Special Adviser to the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions. I have also worked as a senior communications consultant, advising household-name brands, family offices and foundations on strategy and corporate affairs.

At a time where millions feel increasingly sceptical about the capacity for Westminster to deliver real change, our mission to put social justice at the heart of British politics could not be more important.
