Can innovation help to save lives?
The UK’s first “Do-Tank” is recruiting for a Policy and Research intern with a special interest in healthcare, innovation and life sciences to support a new NHS Innovation and Life Sciences Commission.
For too long, political debate has been disconnected from local communities and become the monopoly of SW1A. Where is the voice for patients, clinicians, innovators and community leaders?
Based in Smith Square in the heart of Westminster, Chamber is a new regional broadcaster connecting communities with political debate. Set up alongside, Curia is the UK’s first consultancy to specialise in the implementation of public policy rather than it’s formulation. This internship is an ideal opportunity to be involved in one of the most exciting areas of public policy – healthcare and life sciences innovation.
If you are looking for a role that will redefine and disrupt the orthodoxy, then this is an ideal role for you.
Chamber and Curia are recruiting a talented group of enthusiastic interns who will work directly with the Commissioners and Chief Executive to deliver an exciting new NHS Innovation and Life Sciences Commission. The Commission is chaired by a former Minister for Innovation and Senior Medical Director at NHS England. The applicant will also produce hybrid online/physical broadcasting events with leading political figures from across Westminster, Local Authorities and Regional Government.
This is an exciting opportunity to engage with one of the most interesting networks of community leaders.
What we are looking for:
- Undertake research and help shape recommendations for Commission Chairs
- Help prepare materials for successful Commission meetings
- Commission and produce episodes of Innovating Healthcare
- Create unique content at events and in communications
- Book and brief political panellists from a national and local level
- Interview sectoral experts on a range of subjects
- Promotion of events through engaging social media and social marketing campaigns
- Select and invite community, charity and industry leaders and experts to speak across a range of events
- Secure local, regional and national media coverage
- Support speakers, maintain relationships and prepare them to present at events
- Meet deadlines
- Oversee event running, including speaker liaisons and relationship management
As growing companies, Chamber and Curia are looking for people who wish to grow the business.
We are looking for
- Great writers
- Initiative takers
- Problem-solvers
- Team players
- Network builders
Interns will receive direct one-to-one training from a team of experts in the field. Given the amount of digital activity, it is vital that applicants have experience of social media, campaigns, and attention to detail in respect of written communications.
You do not need to be a graduate to apply, we are committed to diversity and would value people from varying backgrounds to apply. As part of the application process, skills will need to be demonstrated and a writing test will be given.
This internship will last for one month with a chance for rehire at the end.
