Are you creative with an excellent eye for detail? Do you have a "way with words" and enjoy writing? Do you have outstanding spelling and grammatical skills? If so we may have a great position for you.

This role is an exciting opportunity for an individual with strong written and verbal communication skills to join a new team based near Wellington, Somerset. Working on a new project, the aim is to convert medical letters/ documentation into plain English wording to ensure that they meet the information and communication support needs of all patients, regardless of any disability, impairment or sensory loss they may have.

The team will work on new projects for NHS Trusts and health-care organisations from around the country, as well as carrying out ongoing maintenance to ensure the quality is kept to a high standard as letters are updated. As this is a new team, if successful you will be instrumental in the set up of the build of a library of common words / terms to be used in these letters going forward.

To be considered for this role you will need to have an excellent command of the English Language including spelling and grammar. You will need to hold at least a B grade in GCSE English Language (or equivalent) and further English or Humanities qualifications would be advantageous. An interest in creative writing in some capacity is a plus, perhaps writing a blog or short stories etc. You should not be afraid to ask questions, make suggestions or make process improvements and you should be open to discussing your ideas with the rest of the team.

This is a great opportunity for someone to be part of an exciting new project and potentially make a difference to how effective future communication is for patients.

The client is happy to consider applications from candidates who would like to work full or part time.
