Our community is made up of the expertise and experience of our 15,000+ outstanding, hardworking members, supported by over 100 College staff.

With care and compassion at our core, our work is guided by our values of inclusivity, integrity, community, innovation, and inspiring, and we are committed to living these values and behaviours through the way we work and interact with each other. The College promotes an agile, flexible workforce and while this is a full‐time post, applications from individuals seeking parttime, job‐ share, or flexible working arrangements are welcome.
 
The College is now looking to appoint a new Public Affairs and PR Manager who will be responsible for the planning, development, implementation and execution of the College’s strategic position in speaking up for the profession among our 15,000 strong membership community and external stakeholders.
 
This involves the delivery of both proactive and reactive corporate communications and campaign activity across a range of channels to meet target audiences and influencers. The post holder will be required to participate in regular contact with the President, Honorary Secretary, and other senior clinicians and staff working across the College to ensure consistency of messaging, efficiency of responses to policy and media work, and accurate reporting and updates.

They will have a track record and evidence of executing successful public relations campaigns and a strong understanding of the atmosphere surrounding local/national politics with an advantage of healthcare settings being highly desirable.
