Job Details

Following the successful rebrand of Hospital Times and launch of Accountable Care Journal and Primary Care Journal, we are currently looking for a new Editorial Assistant to work on some of the UK’s leading health and care titles.

We are looking for someone who has an understanding of health policy given the high-level nature of our magazines that explore some of the cutting edge debates in political discourse.

The new Editorial Assistant will work closely with the content team to develop and publish news, insight and analysis both online and in print. Our health and care titles have an excellent track record of delivering high quality analysis on the big issues affecting the healthcare sector and our content team is looking for a new member of the team to develop the brands and generate readership as our company grows.

During the first six months of the role, our Senior Editor will train, guide and mentor a new member of the team to become a leading Editor of both Accountable Care Journal and our newest title Primary Care Journal.
