Job description

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with our client in their recruitment of a new Health Information Officer, on a full-time, permanent basis. This is an exciting role for the organisation which offers flexibility, with the option to either be office-based, hybrid, or remote (condensed working will also be considered).

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease which is uncommon, complex and poorly understood. It affects the immune system and can cause lasting damage to the kidneys, skin, heart, lungs and/or brain. This organisation is the only national charity supporting people living with lupus and those that care for them. They hold an ambition for a world where people with lupus can live full and active lives and work hard to empower people by providing information about lupus and offering support so their voices are heard and their condition diagnosed and managed effectively. With 35 years of service, the charity is now embarking on an ambitious new strategy, aiming to broaden and deepen its reach across the lupus community.

Reporting up to the Health Information, Policy, and Research Manager, your role will focus on developing high quality, trustworthy, current and effective information resources for the lupus community. This will include evidence-based printed publications, web content, research summaries, videos, and other digital materials to support and empower everyone affected by lupus. You will work to ensure that health information meets the needs of people with lupus as well as their families, and is marketed, promoted, and disseminated effectively to people who need it, working closely with colleagues across the Community and Social Media teams, as well as with beneficiaries themselves.

To apply for this role, you will be a creative communicator, with demonstrable experience of communicating complex health, scientific, or research information in an accessible, engaging manner. You will have experience of developing information for a wide range of audiences and in a range of formats, including print, digital, video, or audio. You will also have experience of working directly with key stakeholders to co-develop information (including people living with health conditions, young people, healthcare professionals, and researchers). Overall, you will be a collaborative, proactive individual, passionate about ensuring that health resources are tailored and accessible for all.

Please apply by submitting your CV in Word format (cover letters are not required at this stage). Successful candidates will be contacted and invited to provide a supporting statement. Interviews to take place week commencing Monday 19th January.
