There are also regular team meetings and activities to promote wellbeing which are a great way to get to know your amazing colleagues.

We are looking for an organised, flexible and proactive individual who enjoys learning and is confident at following processes and using MS Word and Excel.

Do sweeteners cause cancer? Why are skin cancer rates on the rise? Does vaping help people to stop smoking?

What skills do I need to have?

• Ability to critique epidemiological/public health research papers and confidently make conclusions and recommendations.

• Experience of/passion for writing about and talking about complex health information for a non-scientific audience in an accessible and engaging way.

• Able to build effective working relationships with colleagues, researchers, health professionals and other stakeholders.
