The Engagement Manager is a pivotal coordination role designed to unify the Society’s clinical expertise with the lived experience of patients and their loved ones.

Your primary responsibility is the effective management and coordination of our Professional Advisory Groups (PAGs), which are elected members responsible for providing advice and expertise in matters relating to their profession. You will ensure these groups operate efficiently, helping them develop robust work programmes that deliver on the Society’s strategic objectives across policy, research, education and campaigns.

Building on this coordination, you will embed the patient voice through our Patient, Relatives and Public Advisory Group. You will integrate the lived experience voice into the heart of our work, ensuring that guidelines, campaigns, and educational resources consider patients’ perspectives priorities, and that the Society as a whole is an organisation with patients at their loved ones at the heart.

Working in a matrix style with the Head of Policy, Standards and Research and the Head of Communications and Membership Engagement, you will lead on key deliverables including lay summaries of clinical guidelines, joint advocacy campaigns for equitable care, and the ethical sharing of patient stories to humanise our policy asks. You will also work closely with the Communications team to integrate the patient voice into our communications outputs across social media content, newsletters, blogs, and audiovisual content.
