About the Role

At Epilepsy Action, we know the importance of having access to clear, accurate and trustworthy information about epilepsy. Our high-quality and evidence-based health information allows people living with epilepsy and their family and friends to understand their condition, make informed choices, and live their lives to the fullest.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Health Information Officer to join our health information team and help make that happen.

This is an opportunity to bring together your knowledge of scientific research, your talent for communicating complex information, and your commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives. You’ll play an essential role in creating and maintaining high-quality health information that people living with epilepsy, their families, friends and carers can trust.

From our website and videos to printed guides and booklets, your work will help people find the answers they need, understand their epilepsy, and feel better equipped to live a life without limits.

We know that the best information comes from combining clinical expertise with real-life experiences. This is why you will be responsible for coordinating information reviews by healthcare professionals, and by people living with epilepsy. You will also work closely with colleagues across Epilepsy Action to ensure new information can be shared quickly with the public, service users and supporters.

This is primarily a remote role with office attendance one day per month. Our working arrangements may vary depending on the needs of the role and the activities involved, so flexibility is important.

Together, we’re working towards a world without limits for people with epilepsy.

• Has a good understanding of PIF-TICK accreditation and processes.
