  • The opportunity

  • Are you an experienced health writer and editor?

    Do you want to use your skills to help British Heart Foundation (BHF) fund even more scientific breakthroughs and help us save and improve the lives of families and loved ones?

    If so, this Health Editor role could be for you!

    About the role

    We want to reach and support more people with heart and circulatory conditions, helping them feel informed, empowered, and understood.

    As a Health Editor, you’ll play a key role in doing this, through creating and commissioning high-quality written, audio and video content to support people with heart conditions.

    You will generate ideas and produce high-quality, engaging and accurate content in a variety of formats (e.g. video, quizzes, infographics, interactive tools) across a range of channels (including web, email, print).

    Collaborating with colleagues and other teams, you’ll use data and insight to inform the creation and optimisation of content; ensuring the people who need our support are at the heart of everything we do.

    About you

    As our ideal candidate, you bring experience of writing, editing and proof-reading content (ideally health content) and interviewing people for first-person stories and journalistic features.

    With the ability to work quickly under pressure, prioritise effectively and meet tight deadlines, you have experience of creating and/or managing the creation of multimedia content (e.g., video, animation, interactive tools), working on a print or magazine product, and generating and gathering ideas for content (including by audience insight and SEO techniques).

    Flexible and open to challenges, you will be great at producing high-quality, engaging and accurate content, collaborating with you team and colleagues across the business.

    Able to understand complex medical or scientific materials, you will ideally have a background in health, and/or a good level of science literacy.

Ideally working days would include Mondays as a cross-over day between the job share partners but we are very open and flexibility around this can be discussed.

    The salary range shown is the full time equivalent and will be pro rata for part time hours.

    This is a hybrid role, where your work will be split between your home and at least one day per week, on average, in our London Office. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.
