Changing Faces is seeking a motivated Health Professional Engagement Officer to join our Services Team. This exciting part-time role takes the lead in our professional liaison work to educate health and social care professionals regarding the impact of visible difference and raising their awareness of the important work of the charity.

Main purpose of the role

The main purpose is to develop and maintain relationships with HCPs to:

• increase awareness of the impact of visible difference and educate them in how to effectively support patients
• ensure understanding of the Changing Faces service offers and how to access these
• encourage them to sign up to regular updates and news and stay engaged with us.

This will be done by building and retaining relationships with HCPs via NHS departments, organisations and societies within the field of visible difference; finding ways to keep HCPs on our mailing list engaged and interested in our news; and by providing information, meetings, education and talks both in person and online.

We are looking for

About Changing Faces

Changing Faces is the UK’s leading charity for everyone who has a mark, scar or condition that makes them look different (a visible difference). Being different in a society where there is such pressure to look a certain way is extremely difficult.

People with visible differences are vulnerable to isolation, loneliness, social anxiety and low self-esteem. They face staring, unwanted attention and even bullying and hate crime. They experience lowered expectations in education, problems getting work and stereotyping in the media. This can have a devastating, and lasting, impact on their wellbeing. Adults often come to us, having never spoken to anyone about the psychological impact of their visible difference before.

Changing Faces provides unique practical, social and emotional support for people affected by visible difference; we challenge discrimination and campaign for a world that respects difference.

Health care professional (HCP) engagement contributes to two areas in our strategy:

• Greater understanding and awareness among HCPs of the impact of a visible difference on mental health and wellbeing
• Increased awareness of Changing Faces services and increased referrals from HCPs.

Changing Faces wants a future where everyone with a visible difference on their face or body has the confidence, support and opportunity to lead the lives they want.

This role is part-time (0.6 FTE, 22.2 hours a week), ideally spread across 4-5 days and requires a highly flexible, motivated individual, with a passion for presenting and building relationships around the UK. We are looking for a start date around mid-August 2025.

Closing date: Please apply by 1pm, Wednesday 4th June 2025.
