Job Introduction
At Diabetes UK, we’re committed to empowering healthcare professionals with the knowledge and confidence to provide the best care for people living with or at risk of diabetes. As a Healthcare Digital Education and Content Officer within our Digital and Content Services team, you’ll deliver high-quality, evidence-based education through our online CPD platform (cpd.diabetes.org.uk). This is an exciting opportunity to shape engaging learning experiences that make a real difference in diabetes care.
Role responsibility
In this role, you’ll plan, research, and create engaging and interactive education content for our CPD e-learning platform, working closely with internal teams and external healthcare professionals to ensure materials are clinically accurate and evidence-based. You’ll update existing content, support accreditation processes and technical elements of the learning platform, including uploading content and shaping platform features. Alongside this, you’ll deliver communications strategies to engage healthcare professionals, support progress reports to funders, and stay informed on developments in diabetes care to keep content relevant. You’ll also work with the wider Digital and Content Services team to create healthcare-focused content, contributing to broader topics such as our Tackling Inequality and Stigma ambitions.
The role requires one day per week at our Warrington office and one day per quarter for London based team meetings. There will also be occasional UK travel for events and content production.
The ideal candidate
You’ll be a proactive and collaborative professional, with the ability to create health or education content, ideally for healthcare audiences. You bring strong research and writing skills, excellent project management, and confidence in building relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders. Proficiency in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook is essential. Knowledge of healthcare professional culture and clinical guidelines would be advantageous. You’ll be positive, solutions-focused, and able to work independently while contributing to team success. A graduate degree is required; an advanced degree is desirable.
We have a friendly and inclusive working environment here at Diabetes UK and are proud of our hybrid approach which allows great flexibility in the way that we work. This means that you can balance your working time between home and the office, subject to the needs of your role.

About the Company
For nearly 5 million people with diabetes in the UK, there’s no day off. At Diabetes UK, we fight day in, day out for better care, treatment and support. We won’t stop until diabetes can do no harm.
With more people than ever living with diabetes and millions more at risk of developing type 2, our work has never been more needed. We make sure they get the care and support needed to live well with diabetes and avoid devastating complications.
We fund critical research, which has led to life-changing discoveries – like the first insulin pen and programmes to put type 2 diabetes into remission. Now, we want to do this for everyone and find a cure.
We can’t do any of this without you. Our staff are passionate and determined about helping everyone affected by diabetes. For over 85 years, they’ve been behind vital policy changes, as well as new treatments and technologies to make living with diabetes easier every day.
But there’s more to do. And you can be part of it. Our vision is a world where diabetes can do no harm. Join us today, and together, we can make that a reality.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Diabetes does not affect everyone equally and as a charity we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. We seek to better reflect those we serve. This means we actively seek to reach a diverse pool of candidates in our recruitment processes and particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented at senior level, including those from Black, Asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds. It also means if you have a disability or long-term condition, we're happy to consider any reasonable adjustments you might need to take part in the process and succeed in the role, just let our HR team know via recruitment@diabetes.org.uk
