Are you an experienced communications professional passionate about digital transformation in healthcare? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, shaping strategy, influencing stakeholders, and driving engagement across large-scale programmes?

We are seeking an EPR Communications Manager to lead the communications and engagement strategy for a high-profile Electronic Patient Record (EPR) implementation programme.

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in one of the most significant digital health transformations in the region.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead the development and delivery of a robust communications and engagement strategy for the multi-phase EPR programme.
• Create and deliver compelling internal and external campaigns to raise awareness, build trust, and prepare staff and stakeholders for change.
• Produce engaging content across digital and traditional channels — from bulletins and web copy to video and social media.
• Collaborate with senior leaders, clinical teams, partner organisations, and public representatives to ensure consistent, transparent communication.
• Handle media enquiries and reputation management with confidence, tact, and professionalism.
• Plan and manage events, consultations, and focus groups to foster real engagement with staff, patients, and the wider community.
• Lead and inspire a communications assistant and coordinate external suppliers as needed.

What You’ll Bring

• Significant experience in strategic communications and stakeholder engagement, ideally within complex healthcare or public sector programmes.
• Confidence in advising senior stakeholders and leading communications activity independently.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to tailor messages to different audiences.
• Strong digital skills — from video production and social media management to editing web content and design.
• A track record of working across multi-agency environments and managing sensitive or high-profile initiatives.
• An inclusive, empathetic approach to public and patient engagement, with experience using co-productive methods.
• The ability to thrive under pressure, balance competing demands, and deliver high-quality work at pace.

What You\’ll Get

• The opportunity to shape a major digital transformation programme that will improve care for thousands of people.
• Hybrid working with flexibility and autonomy.
• A supportive and values-driven culture where your expertise will be recognised and trusted.
• The chance to work across multiple organisations, build a powerful network, and make a meaningful impact.

If you\’re ready to lead communications in a role where no two days are the same — and where your work directly contributes to improving healthcare — we want to hear from you.
