Working in our Pro Bono team offers a unique opportunity that many other healthcare communications agencies don't provide - delivering services free of charge to charities and not-for-profit organisations. In 2024 alone, we contributed 2,554 days of support to a range of health-focused non-profit organisations, which we are currently on track to exceed in 2025. This work advances our mission in promoting health by collaborating with organisations who may not otherwise have access to the skills and expertise that we provide.
We provide our full range of services on pro bono basis, collaborating across teams and offices to deliver the best expertise for project needs. As a Pro Bono Analyst, you will gain skills to support projects in health economics, literature reviews, medical writing, publications, medical education, and design materials.
Whilst your “home” team will be Pro Bono, you will work across commercial and pro bono projects with colleagues in all our service areas. Being based in Pro Bono specifically will ensure that you become quickly integrated into part of a supportive team and feel fully immersed in all aspects of company life.
Key responsibilities will include:
Hybrid Working Policy: We believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues who have passed probation to work from home up to half their time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role), you will be able to work from home 1 day per week.
Don’t just take it from us. Here is what colleagues in the Pro Bono team have to say about working on pro bono projects:
