We are building an early-stage UK healthcare marketplace and directory that helps patients discover and compare clinics and practitioners by condition and location. Alongside the directory, we publish evidence-led, patient-facing guides that explain care options and present factual information about relevant services.

Our content pipeline produces structured drafts from researched source material and directory data. We need an experienced UK health-content editor to turn those drafts into clear, useful and publication-ready articles. A separate registered clinician performs independent medical review, and an administrator handles publication.

What you will do

- Substantively edit patient-facing healthcare guides in our browser-based editorial workspace.

- Improve structure, flow, clarity and concision while preserving the meaning of reliable source material.

- Use natural British English and accessible language for readers who may be unfamiliar with medical terminology.

- Remove generic, repetitive or overly confident AI-style wording.

- Keep descriptions of clinics and practitioners factual and neutral, without rankings, endorsements, guaranteed outcomes or unsubstantiated superiority claims.

- Check that factual statements have appropriate citations or source links and flag unsupported or ambiguous material.

- Maintain structured headings, lists, links, citations, references, image alt text and registered content placeholders.

- Resolve or remove outstanding placeholders before submitting a saved revision.

- Respond clearly to section-specific requests from the independent medical reviewer, record what changed and resubmit the final copy for sign-off.

- Perform light on-page SEO work, including clear titles and descriptions, without distorting the medical meaning or patient value.

You will edit article content only. You will not change underlying clinic listings, provide medical sign-off or publish articles. Every saved edit is revision-tracked, and the reviewer must be independent from everyone who edited an article.

Initial engagement

We will begin with one paid pilot article plus a short platform orientation. The pilot includes an initial edit, responses to one medical-review round and finalisation for sign-off. If the work is a good fit, we expect recurring part-time assignments across condition and clinic guides.

Requirements

- Demonstrable experience editing or writing health, medical, health-tech, NHS, clinic or patient-education content.

- Excellent British English, copy-editing and substantive-editing skills.

- Strong research judgement and confidence checking source support without pretending to provide clinical sign-off.

- An excellent feel for plain English, health literacy, sensitive language and the needs of patients comparing care options.

- Comfortable working in a structured CMS-style editor and following precise workflow rules.

- Reliable communication, thoughtful responses to reviewer feedback and consistent deadlines.

- Experience with evidence-led or AI-assisted drafts is useful.

- Clinical qualifications are welcome but not required; editorial quality is the primary requirement.

Please include

1. Two relevant health or medical writing/editing samples and a short explanation of your contribution.
