About the Health Foundation
Health is our most precious asset. Good health enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives, fuels our prosperity and helps build a stronger society. Yet good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK, and health and care services are struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care.
The Health Foundation is an independent charitable organisation with a mission to build a healthier UK. We work to achieve this by generating high quality research and analysis; developing practical solutions to the biggest problems in health and health services; engaging, convening and building coalitions to build understanding, inform debate and drive action; and developing the long-term capability needed to transform health and care.
The Communications Team
The Communications team plays a key role in achieving the Foundation’s mission to build a healthier UK by ensuring our work reaches and influences a range of audiences, and by delivering high quality communications that build our brand, reputation and impact. The team also plays an important role in ensuring our staff are informed and engaged by delivering effective internal communications. Our ambition is to be the most influential organisation in health and a leading voice in UK public policy.Click here to read the job description.
