Are you a strategic, forward-thinking communications leader with a passion for impactful PR? An established, purpose-led membership organisation in the healthcare sector is looking for a Senior Communications Manager to join their small but dynamic team.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a talented and multi-disciplinary communications function, covering press, policy, and social media - within a values-driven organisation that advocates nationally for its members.

What you'll do:

• Lead the development and execution of a fully integrated public relations strategy.

• Drive campaigns that influence policy and amplify the organisation’s voice across national, specialist, and digital media.
• Act as a trusted advisor to the senior leadership team on PR matters.
• Foster and grow strong relationships with key journalists, stakeholders, and media partners.

About you:

• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in public relations, ideally within a regulated environment such as healthcare, insurance, or professional services sectors.
• Proven ability to craft and implement strategic PR plans.
• Strong leadership skills, with experience managing or mentoring others.
• Comfortable advising senior leaders and navigating high-profile or crisis situations.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with confident communication abilities.

What’s on offer:

• Salary of £45,000–£55,000 basic.
• Flexible working: just one day per week required in the organisation’s central London HQ.
• An opportunity to make a significant impact on public conversations and professional advocacy.
