We are looking for new, talented colleagues to help us on the next steps of our journey. Our team is at the very heart of NHS Providers’ activities.
We play a critical role in our organisation’s success – in setting out the concerns and challenges our members face; in highlighting and celebrating their achievements; and in helping our members to understand and access support which helps them deliver better care for patients across the NHS.
That task has never been more important than during the pandemic, which has seen NHS trusts and foundation trusts facing extraordinary pressures. They have risen magnificently to these challenges. But there are more trying times ahead.
The continuing threat from COVID-19, the need to address the backlog of care, and the unprecedented demand for services come at a time of constrained capacity, a challenging financial picture and workforce shortages.
There is also a growing role for trusts in the evolving health and care landscape to address health and race inequalities. NHS Providers is committed to being an anti-racist organisation.
Never have we needed brilliant communicators more, to join us in making the case for the NHS, and to support the work of our members. You’ll be joining a fast-moving and creative team, with opportunities to develop and progress, and a high degree of licence and autonomy. You’ll be empowered to bring your energy and passion to have the greatest impact and ensure we go from strength to strength.

You will help ensure we are on the cutting edge, providing responsive solutions for our staff and members, and pushing our creative boundaries so we engage fully, using high quality digital content which reflects us and our members.
A substantial part of the responsibility in the first 18 months will be supporting the scoping, commissioning, creation and delivery of a new corporate web solution. This will entail working across the organisation and beyond to implement a best-in-class website which provides a streamlined, easier user experience (particularly for members), generating bespoke, automated content that better serves their needs.
Reporting to the senior digital communications manager, and line managing our digital communications assistant, you will also have a hands-on role in developing and improving our other digital communications channels, content and approach, deploying fantastic content to help deliver great engagement and better awareness of key corporate messages.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking to further their communications experience and expertise in a high-profile national organisation. The role is busy and varied and you will input to work across the team’s remit including media relations, publishing, marketing, branding, member communications and events.
