Job Description

The Role…

The Good Housekeeping institute tests hundreds of wellness products every year, from gym equipment to fitness trackers, so we can recommend the very best on the market to our readers. We're looking for a Wellness Editor to join the GHI content team to continue to build our trusted reputation in this area, focusing on new health and fitness launches, sexual wellness, supplements, products to support women in perimenopause and menopause, and more.

In this role, you will transform the results of our wellness testing into engaging, quality content that expands our online product review and e‑commerce offering. You'll be in the know on the latest health and fitness product launches and trends and will work with the testing team to make sure we're reviewing the right products for our readers. You will be responsible for helping GH readers understand which wellness products are worth buying and why.

You will also support the GHI Director of Content with proofing and optimising product review content from across the team.

Main Duties…

• Help drive the wellness testing calendar to ensure we're testing the right products for the GH audience, using data and editorial insights to inform your decisions.
• Write informative and engaging product review roundups and buying guides.
• Work with the GHI accreditation team to ensure the testing and content calendars deliver on our commercial objectives.
• Be the GHI's wellness expert across print, video, social and newsletter content.
• Brainstorm creative new ways to present our testing results, from first-person pieces to wider seasonal roundups.
• Help to edit copy and provide quality control for the writers in the GHI content team, requiring excellent attention to detail and a knowledge of what works for different platforms, from Discover to newsletter.
• Ensure all content is fully optimised for e‑commerce, making sure it's tailored to the GH audience and linking to the best affiliate retailers.
• Work with the SEO manager to ensure all content produced is fully optimised for search.
• Track and report back on success of content created. Use results to inform future testing plans and content ideas.
• Keep content as up to date as possible in line with new product releases and testing.

What We Are Looking For…

• Excellent, in-depth knowledge of the latest wellness product launches and trends, with a strong instinct for what will resonate with audiences.
• Proven experience working with PRs and brands to secure timely information, assets, and “inside scoop” on upcoming launches.
• Strong writing ability with an assured, consistent tone, plus demonstrable experience producing wellness content online and in print.
• Confident top-editor: comfortable reshaping structure, refining headlines, and giving clear, constructive feedback on amendments.
• Digitally fluent, with experience using content management systems, and solid knowledge of SEO best practice, affiliate linking, and performance‑minded content decisions.
• Able to translate product testing results into engaging, jargon‑free copy at speed, without losing accuracy or nuance.
• Highly accurate and organised, with strong attention to detail and confidence communicating with multiple stakeholders; newsletter writing and Photoshop skills are a bonus.
