We are looking for a Senior Medical Writer to join our team to help us meet the challenge of our current success and realise the potential of our rapidly growing business.

We have always had a flexible approach to working, as we know how important work life balance is. We are happy to consider home working, flexible hours and part time arrangements. We are very well placed to support our teams, working from home, with a great IT set up and an inclusive working environment, our people can be based anywhere in the UK. Our continued strong growth, combined with a commitment to training and development within a supportive environment, offers unrivalled career development opportunities.
We offer opportunities to work on blockbuster and niche products, on publications accounts and innovative educational programmes. Most of our accounts are global and involve close strategic partnerships with our clients, providing excellent opportunities for writers interested in developing their skills in strategy and client counsel.
The work we do is rewarding and we actually see how it positively affects people, in real time, with our ‘Work with a Purpose’ Patient Webinars. This is where we get to meet real patients, who tell us their story and how medical communications has helped them along the way. Having long standing trusted strategic partnerships with most of the leading pharmaceutical companies, we work in therapy areas such as Oncology, Rare Diseases, Ophthalmology, Diabetes and Cardiovascular – to name a few.
