You’ll have editorial ownership of our weekly Hospice Leaders Briefing email newsletter, and will play a key role in developing and managing our Innovation Hub, the professionals’ section of our website. You’ll have the chance to further strengthen these important, high performing digital products, innovating and refining to ensure a strong user experience across our membership.
You’ll help to co-ordinate and support editorially with membership communications that come from our CEO and Chair and lead the production of our annual member benefit statements.
You’ll need a strong eye for copywriting, a good understanding of digital marketing, and a really strong instinct for how to make communications relevant and engaging for a diverse, busy and disparate membership audience.

Above all, you’ll share Hospice UK’s collaborative, compassionate, inclusive and innovative values and be motivated by the opportunity to help keep hospices across the UK informed, connected and supported.
We will shortlist candidates based on their CV and supporting statements. A briefing of what to expect will be sent in advance to shortlisted candidates.
