We are looking for an experienced Health Information Editor with strong writing and editing skills and a background in producing evidence-based health information. The role requires confidence working within Patient Information Forum (PIF) accredited processes, communicating complex information in Plain English and adapting content for different audiences and formats. It also involves working closely with clinicians and people with arthritis to review and improve information, ensuring it is accurate, accessible and inclusive. The posts sit within the Health Information Team in the Services and Devolved Nations directorate. The team produces trusted print and digital information to support people at all stages of their arthritis journey, and this role plays an important part in maintaining its quality, relevance and accessibility. About the role This role offers the chance to work on information that has real reach and significance, supporting people with arthritis at moments when clear, trustworthy guidance matters most. It suits someone who enjoys balancing editorial judgement with empathy and who wants to see the wider impact of their work beyond the page. You will be part of a supportive Health Information Team within a values-led organisation that supports flexible working, with opportunities to collaborate widely, develop your skills and contribute to how health information continues to evolve. About you If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we'd love to hear from you: Experience of working within Patient Information Forum (PIF) accredited health information production and review processes. Strong background in writing, editing and reviewing health information for public audiences. Ability to communicate complex health information clearly and accurately using Plain English principles. Confidence working with healthcare professionals to support review and sign-off of health information content. Ability to adapt tone and style for different audiences, formats and channels. Experience managing digital content using a Content Management System and writing for digital audiences. Knowledge of search engine optimisation practices and how to apply them to health information content. Excellent copywriting, editing and proofreading skills with strong attention to detail. Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues, clinicians and people with lived experience. Awareness of the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion in health information. Self-motivation and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
