Windsor, United Kingdom Langland Full time

Company Description
**Who we are**
Langland, a Publicis Health company, is the only health communications agency that thinks further across Clinical Trial Experience, Medical Strategy & Education, Public Relations & Policy, and Advertising, to create unique value with visionary clients.

**What we believe**
Health brings us together. In the diseases we suffer, the medicines we create, and the causes we champion, health shows us our collective humanity. When we break the barriers that divide us, when we think further, we can create healthier futures, together.

**A passion for craft**
Having expert thinking is only part of our story. To ensure excellence in everything we make, we have centred our disciplines around three essential crafts: science, strategy and creativity.

**Job Description**:
At Langland, our Copywriters work collaboratively to deliver a wide range of materials (from brochures to apps) within our Clinical Trial Recruitment team - a specialist area that develops strategies and campaigns to help pharmaceutical companies support patients and healthcare professionals as they progress through clinical trials.

This is an exciting opportunity for a writer to hone their burgeoning skills as they produce communications to support recruitment and retention for clinical trials - vital scientific studies that help pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs and devices.

The Junior Copywriter is a mixed copywriting/copyediting role, supporting a team of senior writers in the creation of a wide range of materials. As a member of our vibrant, award-winning Creative department, you will be working under the direction of our experienced writers to deliver a variety of materials to regular deadlines. These could include posters, brochures, radio advertisements, animation scripts, film scripts, websites, doctor-to-doctor letters, comic books, presentations for healthcare professionals and content for apps. Really, any type of communication that you could imagine.

Initially, you will mostly take on client amends to existing work. This will help you to understand the need for each of the materials, the tone that they use and the type of language/terminology that we employ. It will also help you to learn how to navigate clinical trial protocols effectively (these are documents that detail how a clinical trial will be run). Once these foundations have been laid, you will begin to write materials from scratch (using existing work for guidance).

**Qualifications**:
Our writers come from a range of backgrounds including science journalism and medical education, and typically have some level of writing experience. As a result there will be ample scope for you to learn about the business of writing in an agency environment - whether it’s message-based medical writing or more creative copy that fits with a brand idea.
