Analyst - Pro Bono

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

• An exceptional level of attention to detail

• 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 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
