We are looking for an ambitious, experienced and enthusiastic Consultant to join our healthcare practice. With a thirst to transform healthcare, you will join our welcoming and inclusive team – shortlisted as Policy and Public Affairs Agency of the Year at Communique 2020 – which includes former special advisors, politicians, journalists, agency and charity experts at an exciting period of significant growth. In 2019 alone we achieved significant double-digit growth and 2020 looks set to be our most transformative year yet.

You will form an integral part of busy account teams delivering campaigns to help solve some of the UK’s biggest healthcare challenges – from cancer and hepatitis C, to heart failure and dementia.
