• Effectively and purposefully engaging with a wide range of staff, stakeholder, patient and public audiences to build understanding, involvement and support for a project that will help transform prevention and intervention approaches as well as clinical treatments worldwide
• Writing papers for Boards and the Council of Governors, presenting progress, working across partner organisations at all levels and acting as a strong advocate for the project and the benefits it will deliver

Essential skills/experience required:

• Experience working within the NHS or wider public sector is desirable
• Outstanding communication skills, both written and verbal
• Proven experience delivering communications projects in time and on budget
