The finer details

My client, an exemplary NHS organisation based in Birmingham, is looking to entice a super star within the Communications and Engagement market to join them on a contract basis for around 5 months.

The role is going to be vaired and no two days will be the same! We will want someone with a healthcare background for this one and a passion for their work is essential.

We can offer £240 per day pay and some of the work will be remote, so we can accept applications from those a little further afield!
