Background

Medact organises with the health community to win a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health. We cover some of the most pressing national and global threats to health and wellbeing including institutional racism; climate change; human rights abuses; violent conflict; and rising inequality. We’re a member-led organisation, and our members are made up of a range of people who work in health including nurses, doctors, midwives, and clinical researchers.

We take an organising-centred approach to our work. We build community power by working in solidarity with health workers and the communities experiencing harm from the unjust systems we challenge. We run national campaigns, use research to expose injustice, and we support local organising groups across the country who lead most of our work.

About the role 

As our Communications Lead, you will be responsible for delivering communications content, ensuring our communications are effective across our platforms and audiences. With the oversight of our Deputy Director Operations & Communications (DDOC), you will drive strong engagement from the health community and allow their voices to have maximum impact on public and political discourse on our key health justice issues.

This role involves working on projects with our campaign leads, across all of our programmes of work, to produce appropriate content both strategically and efficiently. It also requires working with our members – a community of people who work in health – to create content led by them and in their voices, which is vital to our communications approach. 

About you

This is a skilled role, but you don’t need to have worked for an NGO or be a communications professional to be right for it. You might have done communications for grassroots campaigns on issues that you care about or as a member of your union. Or, you may be a health worker with a passion for communications.

You’ll have strong strategic communications skills in both traditional and digital media. You’ll have experience delivering content for specific audiences to meet organisational objectives, and experience working on issues of health equity and justice, abolition and anti-racism. You will work well as part of a team, supporting campaigners and members to produce impactful content, and training them with the skills they need to do this. You may also have experience with specific skills in video production, or individual-giving fundraising.

Key dates

Closing date: 9am, Monday 24th March

Interviews: in the week of 31st March

If needed, second interviews will be in the week of 7th April

Our recruitment principles

Medact aims to be an inclusive and supportive employer, and we recognise that recruitment processes don’t work for everyone. We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in the NGO sector, and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We welcome applications from people with marginalised identities or lived experience of the issues Medact works on. If you have any questions or uncertainties about this position, and whether you are right for it, please do get in touch!
