Jobs for the Education sector

About the College
The Royal College of Pathologists is a professional membership organisation with charitable status concerned with all matters relating to the science and practice of pathology. It is a body of its Fellows, Diplomates, Affiliates and trainees, supported by the staff who are based at the College's London offices.
The College is a charity with over 13000 members worldwide. The majority of members are doctors and scientists working in hospitals and universities in the UK.
The College oversees the training of pathologists and scientists working in 17 different specialties, which include cellular pathology, haematology, clinical biochemistry and medical microbiology.
Although some pathologists work in laboratories, many work directly with patients in hospitals and the community. Together, they are involved in the majority of all diagnoses and play an important role in disease prevention, treatment, and monitoring. If you have ever had a blood test, cervical smear or tissue biopsy, a pathologist will have been involved in your care.

About Exams
The Examinations Department at the Royal College of Pathologists is responsible for the planning, delivery, and quality assurance of all College examinations, including the Fellowship (FRCPath), Diploma, Certificate, and BMS examinations, as well as the Fellowship by Published Works.

Working collaboratively, we ensure that all examinations are delivered efficiently, securely, and to the highest standard of integrity.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to fairness, transparency, and excellent service for both candidates and examiners. By upholding these values, the Examinations Department plays a vital role in supporting the professional development of pathologists and advancing the College’s mission to improve patient care through excellence in pathology.
The College runs two main examination sessions each year - Spring and Autumn - requiring careful planning, coordination, and attention to detail across all aspects of administration and logistics.
Due to the critical nature of the examination timetable, annual leave is restricted during examination sessions. Staff are required to be in the office throughout the exam periods and during the week when results are released.

We are looking for a communications officer who can help us deliver this mission by working with a full range of external channels.

You will have a passion for telling powerful, important stories and enjoy pitching to some of the UK’s highest profile journalists, finding news hooks and human interest in the IOP’s cutting-edge research.

You’ll be as comfortable creating video and social media content as you are in traditional media and familiar with the challenge of generating and commissioning digital communications.

An understanding and passion for science is also an advantage but far more important is a willingness to learn and engage alongside the ability to communicate, both to scientific and non-scientific audiences, how physics is transforming our world. In the last 12 months alone the IOP communications team has led the UK in helping celebrate the UNESCO International Year of Quantum, produced agenda-shaping policy work on the need to ensure every young person has a specialist physics teacher and raised the alarm about the financial challenges facing university physics departments. We are a busy, ambitious team and can offer a stimulating environment for personal and professional growth to the right person.
