The Role

You thrive in a collaborative environment and are excited by the chance to shape the voice of a growing organisation. You’re passionate about health, sustainability or systems change, and you understand the power of inclusive, values-led storytelling.
You’re also flexible and willing to travel within the UK to represent PBHP UK at events, parliamentary meetings and stakeholder workshops.
Most of all, you’re ready to use your skills to drive meaningful change.

- Designing and delivering our overall communications strategy
- Creating content and campaigns that engage the public, healthcare professionals and policymakers
- Shaping our media presence through storytelling, strategic messaging and press engagement
- Managing newsletters and mailing lists, ensuring high-quality and timely communication
- Supporting fundraising goals with compelling donor-facing content
- Collaborating with internal teams and external partners to align communications across all workstreams

- Using digital tools to track and measure the impact of communications work
- Building relationships with media, influencers and partners to expand our visibility
What Excites You
You’re energised by purpose and want your work to contribute to a healthier, fairer world. You enjoy crafting messages that matter and using communications as a tool for change. Whether you're creating content, shaping strategy or building relationships, you’re driven by the idea that good storytelling can shift hearts, minds and systems.
You’re excited by the opportunity to work across health, sustainability and advocacy. You value evidence, inclusion and collaboration, and you’re looking for a role where your creativity and strategic thinking will be trusted, appreciated and put to good use.
