Copywriter

Simplyhealth are on a mission to make healthcare in the UK accessible for everyone. We have 2 million customers across our Health and Dental products. We aim to support and protect the NHS through the provision of outpatient support to help people live their best lives.

We’re looking for a Copywriter to join our newly formed Brand & Creative team to help build greater public awareness of our brands and our purpose – to improve access to healthcare for all in the UK.

As Copywriter you’ll support the execution of our product-led vision and strategy. You’ll be responsible for creating and overseeing all written content, bringing Simplyhealth’s proposition to life through compelling storytelling. You’ll act as a consultant to significant brand and marketing projects by advising on messaging, style and tone of voice. You’ll hold responsibility for generating effective content that promotes the organisation as an authority on healthcare and a key player in the industry.

You’ll be an imaginative and energetic team player with significant experience in writing in a B2B and B2C commercial environment. You’ll form part of a new brand and creative centre of excellence that will work closely with our inhouse studio to execute the brand and tone of voice consistently across the business. We develop market-leading campaigns, so you’ll be exposed to a range of activities, from product comms, to thought leadership, to writing for big players in the corporate space. You’ll love the variety and challenge this brings to create a best in class approach to creative writing at Simplyhealth.

We’re interested in what you do and how you do things, not when and where you do them. Our ‘smart working’ approach gives you the best of all worlds – working from home, in our modern offices in Hampshire or on the move. This means depending on your role, there will be opportunities to flex when and where you spend your time to perform at your very best. For many of us this means day to day work can be handled remotely, but there will also be times when we need to come together in the office to collaborate, attend training sessions, induction, briefings and more. You might know it as flexible or hybrid working, for us it’s just another day living our best lives!

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Significant experience in professional, commercial and creative writing in a B2B and B2C commercial environment
• A Marketing, English or Journalism qualification
• Experience working in a marketing function
• Comfort managing your own workflow and prioritising
• Familiarity with creative processes and techniques – including email marketing, digital media and content marketing
• Great self-motivation and creative ideas with customer-centricity at the heart of thinking and a willingness to challenge
• Strong attention to detail and focus on delivering to deadlines and service level agreements

Our dream candidate might also have:

• Experienced working in a regulated business and/or healthcare
• Understanding of SEO
• Experience of working in a project manager/account manager capacity

What’s in it for you

As a payrolled colleague you’ll receive a competitive basic salary plus:

• Group annual discretionary bonus
• Prorated 36 days holiday (including 8 bank holidays) with an option to buy or sell a further 5 days
• A pension scheme with 6% from us, a minimum 3% from you with the option to increase or decrease when you join. If you decide to contribute 4% or above we will add a further 4% which can be allocated in different ways
• A yearly company funded allowance that you can choose to use against some great benefits such as critical illness, private medical insurance, or, shopping vouchers and more
• Simplyhealth core product choice: Cash plan or Dental plan
• Minimum 4 x Life Assurance (option to increase)

We’re focused on providing an application, assessment and onboarding journey that is fair, consistent, diverse and inclusive for all, allowing us to hire top talent based on the skills and behaviours pivotal to your and our success.
