Communications Manager

Join Oxford's top-ranked centre for academic primary care and help showcase world-leading research and education through impactful communications and an exciting programme of events,

Applications are invited for a Communications Manager for maternity cover to join the Communications team in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering the department communications strategy; promoting our world-leading research; and shape a growing events programme. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists; many of whom are practicing GP's, but we also have a range of non-medical disciplines including the social sciences and humanities; and a growing education programme.

You will work closely with research teams across the department to identify compelling stories, develop engaging content and maximise communication opportunities to promote their work. You will bring your communications expertise to produce a range of communications materials and provide expert advice to researchers and senior academics.

A key part of the role will be continuing to develop and embed the department's events strategy, building on an established programme and strengthening the role of events in supporting our research, education and engagement priorities. You will line manage a small events team and oversee the running of a diverse programme of events.

The post might be suitable for a secondment opportunity.

You will be based in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Radcliffe Primary Care Building, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG as your normal place of work but you will be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager.

The post is available until the end of February 2028.
