About the Role
Our Pro Bono division delivers projects free-of-charge to charities and not-for-profit organisations within the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, with the aim of making a real difference to causes that our staff care about. We offer our full range of services on a pro bono basis, working collaboratively across our divisions and office locations to secure the right expertise to fulfil project briefs. Examples of recent pro bono projects can be found on our website and include creating patient information and education materials, and helping organisations to build their evidence base.
By joining as an Analyst within our Pro Bono division, you will develop the appropriate skills and deliver projects that require a broad range of technical expertise and knowledge across our service offerings, including health economics, literature reviews, medical writing, peer-reviewed publications, medical education and design materials.
Whilst your “home” division will be the Pro Bono division, you will work across commercial and pro bono projects with colleagues in all divisions. Your home division will ensure that you become quickly integrated into part of a supportive team and feel fully immersed in all aspects of company life.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Creating materials for different audiences, often for patients, their carers or healthcare professionals
- Working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time
- Supporting commercial projects to gain relevant experience for your professional development
- Working in project teams alongside experienced colleagues
- Close collaboration with clients, including participating in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders
- Supporting with a range of internal activities linked to the Pro Bono division. For example, preparing business development materials, identifying potential networking opportunities and monitoring our pro bono work

- The ability to handle quantitative data comfortably
- An aptitude for, and experience of, planning and writing scientific documents which could include lab reports, dissertations, poster or oral presentations and articles for websites or student magazines, peer-reviewed scientific publications, book chapters, grant applications and regulatory documents
- Being self-motivated and enthusiastic, with a genuine interest in healthcare and an eagerness to learn and develop your skills
- An exceptional level of attention to detail
- Strong analytical skills
- Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage your time to work across multiple projects at the same time and prioritise tasks appropriately to maximise productivity

- The ability to tailor your communication style for a variety of audiences, including healthcare professionals, patient groups, suppliers, clients, non-scientific colleagues and governmental bodies
- A proactive mindset, including the ability to recognise challenges and suggest solutions with limited guidance
- A collaborative approach to working, where you share knowledge with others in your team to promote the attainment of a common objective, and work together to overcome obstacles to success
- The self-awareness to reflect on your own work and performance, alongside a willingness to take ownership of your work and the development of your career
- A willingness to get involved with, and contribute to, your wider division
- Embodying Costello Medical’s values, which includes being committed to delivering high quality work, championing innovation in healthcare, acting with integrity and supporting your colleagues as they would support you

Are you passionate about supporting older people to develop and maintain their physical wellbeing? We are looking to recruit an Exercise at Home Coordinator, sitting within the Wellbeing & Connections team, to deliver a programme of activities that can support older people with mobility challenges through exercise at home.
The desired candidate will have a Level Three Fitness Qualification (PT) and will assist clients to gain confidence through movement, including chair-based exercise, and walking support for older frail clients in their home. The role is pivotal in enabling people with chronic conditions to become more active, and for people who have temporarily lost mobility to regain the confidence to walk. To ensure the ongoing effectiveness of this programme offer, the role will include training and supporting volunteers.
Role functions:
- Running our Exercise at Home programme – assessing new clients in their homes, prescribing exercise programmes for clients that align with their needs and goals, training volunteers to deliver the programmes, and managing the day-to-day running of the project.
- Delivering walking support sessions - these will be tailored to be accessible by those who have either recovered from a fall or have had surgery and need the confidence to access the community. These sessions will enable people to increase their mobility, whilst also having an opportunity to socialise with others in the local community. Training volunteers to assist clients with walking support will be a key part of the role.
- Co-ordinating other community-based physical wellbeing activities, including our monthly Flaneur Walks during the warmer months, and any new projects that arise.
- Networking with relevant local bodies, NHS trusts, GP clinics, and social services to make them aware of the services we provide and to strengthen our presence in the field.
The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills and have at least one year’s experience of working with older people. A Level Three Fitness qualification is compulsory and a qualification in delivering exercise programmes for those with mobility issues would be advantageous.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
