A rare opportunity has arisen for a talented and creative science communicator to join an award-winning team that plays a key role within the British Heart Foundation. We are the largest independent funder of cardiovascular research in the UK, which helps save lives by advancing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart and circulatory diseases. Thriving in a fast-paced environment, you will be talented at identifying great research stories and bringing these to life for the media, our website and our supporters. This varied role would suit an enthusiastic science writer/communicator with superb interpersonal skills and, ideally, press office experience. You will be able to juggle tasks and work under pressure to deliver a first class service within the charity, and be a fluent/natural writer, skilled at tailoring information for a range of audiences. You'll get to work with diverse teams across the charity, as well as some of the top cardiovascular scientists in the UK. As this role requires handling of research information, so a degree in a biomedical science and work experience in a related field is essential, and a communication qualification is also desirable. Please note this a 1 year FTC to cover maternity leave.
