We are looking for a new team member with a qualification and experience in editing. You will be responsible for reviewing our patient information documents/publications providing a professional copywriting, editing, proofreading, and typesetting service.
This is vital for our patients to have access to high-quality and accessible information that will support and guide their care. Sometimes, there will be a need to provide education and feedback to clinical teams about document writing and grammar, so you will need to feel comfortable doing this and working with the team to promote the use of national documentation where possible.
The role is suitable for hybrid working, but after initial training, this requirement would be mostly focussed on home working.
You will be part of a small team, with a Patient Information Manager, a Patient Information Editor and another Patient Information Editorial Assistant. Finding a person with the right skill set and a friendly personality is very important to us.

Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need, and we will explore what’s possible for the role and service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
