We are committed to staff development, and offer opportunities to identify and access appropriate training and professional growth.

About The Role

King’s College London’s Better Health & Care Hub is a world-leading, cross faculty initiative to develop research and education dedicated to the transformation of health and care, in partnership, on a local, national and international scale. The Hub aims to support research and education which will radically redesign interventions, systems, and pathways to address the most pressing challenges faced by people living with complex illnesses, and the healthcare systems that support them.

Led by the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care (NMPC), in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy (SSPP) and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), our initiative harnesses interdisciplinary expertise from across King’s College London, bolstered by strategic partnerships with NHS, social care, community, patient-led, charitable and international organisations.

Applications are now open for an Engagement Officer to support the engagement and communications activities of the Hub. Reporting to the Centre Manager, the role will be split between supporting the Hub’s Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) activities and supporting our Communications Manager with content creation, event delivery and implementing the Hub’s communications strategy.

Candidates will need to have experience in PPIE, either through their studies or employment, and demonstrate their ability to write convincingly and create content for different audiences.

This role is offered as a full-time position (35 hours per week) and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 30/06/2027.
