The Royal Osteoporosis Society is the only UK-wide organisation dedicated to finding a cure for osteoporosis and improving the lives of everyone affected by it. We help the nation look after its bones and appreciate the importance of bone health for everybody.

More than three million people in the UK affected by osteoporosis. But unlike other common, chronic conditions, osteoporosis has a low-profile. Only around one in four adults are aware of what the condition means, and it has been discussed significantly less in Parliament over the last five years than most other chronic conditions. This new role has been created to change that.

Not only do we want to turn up the volume on osteoporosis and inspire millions of conversations about bone health, we want to become a campaigning charity and reposition ourselves as a key influencer on the national stage.

We’re looking for an experienced professional to support and co-ordinate the development and review of our information resources in print and digital for public and healthcare professional audiences – including health information and patient education resources Working to in-house production processes, recognised quality guidelines and using content design principles, the role holder will ensure that all resources are accessible, evidence-based and meet the needs of people living with or at risk of osteoporosis and fracture.

Reporting to the Director of Clinical Services, you will work collaboratively with the Clinical Services and Communications teams to ensure we optimise all resources and opportunities to reach and engage more people and audiences.

You will also lead and effectively manage discrete projects associated with modernising and digitising our information resources. You will ensure timely all funder requirements are met and all outputs and outcomes are aligned with our organisational objectives.

Our offices are based outside Bath, but we have a very flexible approach and this post can be based remotely although we would expect a weekly visit to the office in normal circumstances.

Interested? We’d love to hear from you.

The closing date is 17 March 2021, interviews week commencing 22 March 2021.
