We are looking for an accomplished, experienced, and self-motivated storyteller and communications practitioner. As a powerful voice for the Faculty of Medicine and Health and its achievements, you will communicate key priorities within the Faculty so people understand how their work relates to those priorities. You will also build close working relationships with the External Communications and Campaigns team to ensure the voice of the Faculty is heard by the media and other key stakeholders.
