Communications Manager

The Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN) is the membership organisation which represents over 120 independent healthcare service providers across the UK. Our members deliver a diverse range of services to NHS and private patients including acute care, primary care, community care, neurodevelopmental care, and diagnostics, across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is looking to further their communications experience and expertise in a high-profile national organisation engaged in health policy and practice.

The work is busy and varied and you will work across the team's remit including media relations, digital and social media, member communications and events, publishing, marketing, branding and public affairs.

Part of the role will entail working with colleagues to provide strategic and operational communications guidance, to support their programmes or projects, helping with communications plans and project managing the production of content across a wide variety of content including, briefings, reports, video, infographics, social media and other products.

You will also have a responsibility for delivering, developing and improving our member communications channels, content and approach to help deliver great engagement, better awareness of key corporate messages, and develop our sense of community and togetherness. You'll also have the opportunity to support IHPN's public affairs work - helping identify MPs and Peers to engage with and producing high quality briefings for meetings and parliamentary debates.

Utilising analytics and other insights, you will also help to identify opportunities for new IHPN content or
outputs to further raise our external profile and support members.
