Job Details

Junior Comms Officer:
We are searching for a candidate who wants to find their way into professional communications.

You will work with a committed and experienced small team, where you’ll get plenty of chances to make a difference for the doctors and dentists MDDUS supports. Having an interest in healthcare will be an asset, but what is essential to be successful in this role is a can-do attitude and the ability to be an organised self-starter.

Alongside providing general support to the Public Affairs and Strategic Communications team, you’ll work in an enjoyable and supportive environment where you’ll get opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from across the full business and especially our Medical, Dental, and Legal teams on a variety of issues.

Public Affairs and Comms Officer:
We are searing for a driven Public Affairs and Comms officer to join us – someone who has a focus on delivering great work, generating ideas and a keen interest in health, current affairs and politics across all nations of the UK.

Having an interest in health – its delivery and the development of policy – alongside an understanding of how health is delivered in the NHS and private sector across all the devolved nations would be an advantage.

The role is busy and varied and the successful candidate will get wide-ranging experience working across a number of key public affairs and communications activities. You will also be supported to develop your expertise through training and ongoing support and development.
