Job description
About The Role
Simplyhealth are on a mission to make healthcare in the UK accessible for everyone. We have 2 million customers across our Health and Dental products. We aim to support and protect the NHS through the provision of outpatient support to help people live their best lives.
We’re looking for a Copywriter to join our newly formed Brand & Creative team to help build greater public awareness of our brands and our purpose – to improve access to healthcare for all in the UK.
As Copywriter you’ll support the execution of our product-led vision and strategy. You’ll be responsible for creating and overseeing all written content, bringing Simplyhealth’s proposition to life through compelling storytelling. You’ll act as a consultant to significant brand and marketing projects by advising on messaging, style and tone of voice. You’ll hold responsibility for generating effective content that promotes the organisation as an authority on healthcare and a key player in the industry.
You’ll be an imaginative and energetic team player with significant experience in writing in a B2B and B2C commercial environment. You’ll form part of a new brand and creative centre of excellence that will work closely with our inhouse studio to execute the brand and tone of voice consistently across the business. We develop market-leading campaigns, so you’ll be exposed to a range of activities, from product comms, to thought leadership, to writing for big players in the corporate space. You’ll love the variety and challenge this brings to create a best in class approach to creative writing at Simplyhealth.
We’re interested in what you do and how you do things, not when and where you do them. Our ‘smart working’ approach gives you the best of all worlds – working from home, in our modern offices in Hampshire or on the move. This means depending on your role, there will be opportunities to flex when and where you spend your time to perform at your very best. For many of us this means day to day work can be handled remotely, but there will also be times when we need to come together in the office to collaborate, attend training sessions, induction, briefings and more. You might know it as flexible or hybrid working, for us it’s just another day living our best lives!
