Do you have a strong combination of content creation and optimisation and project management skills? An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the team that’s transforming NIHR’s website into an accessible, engaging and high-ranking platform for NIHR’s diverse audiences.
This role is part of a central communications team that works closely with NIHR national Coordinating Centres, and senior officers of the Department of Health and Social Care’s Science, Research and Evidence Directorate. Your work will be led by the NIHR Head of Digital Communications.
