Job Description

Are you an ambitious writer, editor, or publishing professional looking for a role that offers genuine career progression?

We're recruiting on behalf of a respected B2B publishing and events business with a strong presence in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. This is an opportunity to join a growing editorial team, working across industry-leading publications, digital platforms, and live events that engage senior decision-makers across the healthcare landscape.

Whether you're currently an Editorial Assistant ready for your next step, or an Assistant Editor looking to broaden your experience, this role offers excellent exposure, responsibility, and long-term development.

The Role

You'll play a key role in creating, commissioning, and shaping content for a specialist audience, working closely with healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical leaders, and industry experts.

Responsibilities will include:

  * Writing news stories, features, interviews, and digital content

  * Commissioning articles from industry experts and key opinion leaders

  * Editing and proofreading content to a consistently high standard

  * Supporting the production process across print and digital publications

  * Conducting interviews with senior stakeholders across healthcare and pharma

  * Repurposing content for websites, newsletters, and social media channels

  * Attending industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities

  * Contributing ideas to help grow audience engagement and digital reach

About You

We're interested in candidates who are naturally curious, highly organised, and passionate about producing quality content.

You'll ideally have:

  * Previous experience in journalism, publishing, editorial, content writing, communications, or a similar role

  * Excellent written English and strong proofreading skills

  * Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines

  * Confidence speaking with senior professionals and industry experts

  * A proactive approach and willingness to learn about a specialist sector

Experience within healthcare, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, or B2B publishing would be advantageous, but is by no means essential.

What's in it for You?

  * Salary of £26,000 - £30,000 depending on experience

  * Fully funded London travel for Maidstone-based employees

  * Clear progression opportunities within a growing editorial team

  * Exposure to senior leaders across the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors

  * Opportunities to attend industry conferences and events

  * Supportive environment with ongoing training and development

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in publishing while gaining exposure to one of the world's most innovative and influential industries
