About the Company
About the Team
Technology is at the heart of our organisation. It empowers our colleagues to deliver the best-in-class service to our members, whether that be through our systems, platforms and architecture or robust data insights to help influence business decisions.
It is a very exciting time to get involved in our Member Experience, Digital and Data (MEDD) division, as the team are currently developing new Cloud-based architecture, introducing a new CRM system that will allow for better cross-team collaboration and re-defining our platforms and environments.
How MEDD work
We offer a truly-flexible hybrid working arrangement that is centred around our colleagues’ work-life balance. Technology allows us to collaborate effectively regardless of location, but we know sometimes you can’t beat being with your team in-person and our team tends to come on-site once or twice a month. However, we expect this can fluctuate throughout the year depending on our projects and current work.
Who We Are
Medical Protection Society (MPS) is the world’s leading protection organisation for Doctors, Dentists and healthcare professionals. We protect and support the professional interests of almost 300,000 Members around the world.
We are a not-for-profit organisation, meaning our Members’ premiums are kept safe should our Members require support for complaints or claims arising from professional practice, or invested into bettering the organisation, our colleagues and our products.
Our philosophy is to support safe practice in medicine and dentistry by helping to avert problems in the first place. We also actively campaign for regulatory and legal reforms that benefit Members and the wider healthcare professions.
To do this, we need exceptional colleagues who are trusted and supported to deliver their best work, so we can continue to provide the most trusted, valued and expert protection to members when they need us the most.
