Pro Bono at Costello Medical

Our Pro Bono division delivers projects free-of-charge to charities and not-for-profit organisations within the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, with the aim of making a real difference to causes that our staff care about. We offer our full range of services on a pro bono basis, working collaboratively across our divisions and office locations to secure the right expertise to fulfil project briefs. Examples of recent pro bono projects can be found here and include creating patient information and education materials, and helping organisations to build their evidence base. To support local capacity building, we run an internship scheme that gives nationals from low- or middle-income countries skills in evidence-based medicine and health economics that they can apply to problems in their community. We also volunteer our time to local community projects as well as raise funds for local charities, nominated by our employees.

About the Role

By joining as an Analyst within our Pro Bono division, you will develop the appropriate skills and deliver projects that require a broad range of technical expertise and knowledge across our service offerings, including health economics, literature reviews, medical writing, peer-reviewed publications, medical education and design materials.

Being proactive and a quick learner with the ability to swiftly integrate new skills will be valuable in this role.

Our work is structured on a project-by-project basis where you will usually be working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time.

You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues, who provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.

In addition to your project responsibilities, you will provide support for a range of internal activities linked to the Pro Bono division. Specific tasks could include preparing business development materials, identifying potential networking opportunities and monitoring our pro bono work.

Costello Medical is structured into divisional teams focusing on distinct medical communications and health economics services or serving a specific sector within the healthcare industry.

Animals Asia is a progressive, dynamic and global organisation making great advances in animal welfare predominantly in China and Vietnam, but with reach across Asia. In 1998, we set out with a primary goal of ending bear bile farming – a horrific trade that is arguably the world’s cruelest form of animal abuse. In 2017, the Vietnamese Government announced its partnership with Animals Asia to bring this to an end by 2022.  This year, we will be raising funds to build a new sanctuary in Vietnam so we can bring the last of the country’s bile bears home. There has never been a more exciting time to join the team and be part of this historic, rewarding journey. We are also at the forefront of ending elephant riding in Vietnam – a model which we hope can be rolled out across the rest of Asia.

Our fundraising team is equally progressive and exciting. You will be joining an exceptionally talented, passionate and dedicated group brimming with ambition and potential.  Last year, we raised a record breaking $14m globally but this is still only the tip of the iceberg – we could do so much more and investing in the right people to join our team is critical.
