We believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring a community where people belong, while homeworking can improve work-life balance and reduce commuting. Flexible working arrangements allow colleagues who have passed probation to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During probation (normally the first 6 months), you may work from home for 1 day per week.

What is the Difference Between the Project Coordinator and the Analyst/Medical Writer Roles? Analysts, Medical Writers and Project Coordinators share similar responsibility levels, but daily duties differ. Analysts and Medical Writers conduct detailed analyses of scientific data to create materials for clients. Project Coordinators offer project management and administrative support to enable timely delivery of high-quality work and collaborate with senior colleagues to improve processes.

If successful, you will be invited to an interview with key members of our Publications team. The standard recruitment process lasts around 1 month, but can be adapted if necessary. As an equal opportunity employer, we support a diverse and inclusive workforce and can provide reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process:
