You will use high levels of judgement to balance risk, raise the profile of the College across the UK and protect the reputation of both the College and the GP profession.

You will also source, write and produce articles for the College’s membership magazine GP Frontline and its supplements, which both go out to the RCGP’s 52,000 members.

The successful candidate will share our corporate values. In return, the College offers excellent terms and conditions.
