About the role

You'll be the go-to person for membership engagement across your region. You'll work closely with regional advisers, consultants, doctors, and trainees to deliver impactful programmes - everything from updates in medicine to organising engagement events and forums.

• Experienced in stakeholder engagement, programme delivery or membership services
• Comfortable working independently and travelling across the region (and occasionally attending wider UK events)

Experience in membership, the NHS or education would a bonus - but isn't essential.

*Hybrid expectation to visit London office once a week and occasional regional travel onsite to members and for events. Commute to London isn't reimbursed, but travel across the region is.
