The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has an excellent opportunity for an Editorial Assistant to join us on a temporary basis for eighteen months.

The RSC invests in educating future generations of scientists. We raise and maintain standards. We partner with industry and academia, promoting collaboration and innovation. We advise governments on policy, and we promote the talent, information and ideas that lead to great advances in science. In the UK, we are the largest non-governmental funder of chemistry education, and we influence government policy to ensure that opportunities to develop skills meet the unique needs of chemistry. We believe that everyone should have access to a high-quality chemistry education which is engaging, inspiring and relevant, and that good science education starts in primary school.

Our Education Platforms, Publishing and Products team works closely with other education-focused teams at the RSC to provide relevant and useful advice, resources, and practical support to educators and their students in schools, colleges and universities.

You will have:

- Excellent written English and communication skills.
- Great interpersonal skills and a proactive approach to customer service.
- Some experience of proofreading, editing or digital content management.
- The ability to cultivate and maintain positive relations with customers and other stakeholders.
- Strong interest in science education and outreach, along with some knowledge of UK and Irish education systems.
- Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing demands and workload.

As an organisation we are embracing hybrid working, and homeworking/remote working within the UK could be considered for this role.
