London, United Kingdom Wellcome Trust Full time

Salary: £46,770

Closing date: Thursday 13 April 2023

Contract type: Permanent

The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy, and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health. These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won’t be solved by science alone.

Wellcome’s Corporate Affairs department works to build and sustain the understanding, trust, influence, public participation, reputation and brand that will help us to ensure that science works in the interests of the people we seek to benefit, and has the most positive possible impact on their health

We are looking for a Science Writer to join our team to deliver a programme of scientific content and thought leadership, helping Wellcome to build and maintain its reputation as a global leader in research.

Where in Wellcome will I be working?

You will be working in Internal and Stakeholder Communications - a team responsible for delivering multi-channel communications to our closest audiences: staff, researchers, policymakers and multilateral organisations. This team works across all aspects of Wellcome’s work, devising tactics to reach our audiences where they are with content they need, with messages that add coherence and consistency.

What will I be doing?

You’ll work across the four programmes of our strategy to source, research, write and edit scientific and technical content for a range of internal and external channels and publications, including specialist research publications.

As a Science Writer you will:
- Write engaging and impactful content for Wellcome’s researcher audience across a range of internal and external channels, in support of integrated communications plans.- Ghost write for senior people, primarily the Director of Research Programmes and senior staff within Research Programmes.- Attend events and workshops and assimilate outputs into reports, papers and other written documents.- Contribute to a thought leadership programme aligned to Wellcome’s mission, by writing articles aimed at the scientific community and other specialist audiences.

Is this the job for me?

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about science and its role in the world. You’ll be comfortably dealing with complexity and working with teams of specialists across multiple disciplines. You’ll bring a creative approach, equally comfortable working individually and as part of a team.

To be successful in this role you will have experience of:
- Writing scientific or technical content, with a background in communications or journalism.- Science and research disciplines, and comfortable working with complex information, projects and programmes.- Experience of adapting a written style depending on audience and format, including reports, op-eds, web articles, media pieces and briefing documents.- Building rapport and influencing a diverse range of stakeholders at all levels, including senior staff

Please note flexible working hours or job-shares will be considered for this role.

Interview dates: Weeks commencing Monday, 1 May and Monday, 8 May and / or Monday, 15 May 2023
