About the role

Macmillan's Cancer Information Development team produces high-quality, award-winning patient information for people affected by cancer. We prepare content for publication across a range of formats, including in print, for web, as PDFs, and in other formats including audio, video, easy read, and translations.

As a content channel editor, you will work closely with cancer information development nurses and editors to prepare cancer information content for revision and delivery across a range of formats and channels. You will support the maintenance and migration of large quantities of cancer information content within, to and from our content management system (CMS).

You will carry out format-specific restructuring and edits on content for publication on the Macmillan website, helping to plan, optimise and publish cancer information for web and mobile channels. You will also prepare content for publication through Adobe InDesign print and PDF booklet templates.

What do we need you to bring to the role?

It is essential that you are accomplished in dealing with content issues as they relate to both print and web materials.

We are looking for experience with a component-based content management system as well as familiarity with digital editing. Ideally that experience will include some involvement in the development of health or other publicly focused information.

Success in this role demands good standards of English and grammar, as well as excellent organisational skills, enabling you to deliver work to schedule across multiple projects.

Ideally you would have familiarity with Adobe InDesign, and basic skills in HTML/XML.

• 25 days holiday plus flexible bank holiday options, increasing by 1 day every year of service up to 30 days.
