Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

As we grow our digital presence and further develop our digital strategies, we are looking for a Content Manager to join us to create and manage content to support our digital campaigns. The postholder will also create content for new digital product developments. 

About the role

You will plan, create, test and refine engaging digital content that optimises user experience and delivers our organisation’s strategy while keeping our diverse audiences in mind. You will manage small to medium content projects and help shape content that is underpinned by data and research. You will have excellent writing skills and strong knowledge of how to create content that is accessible, inclusive and optimised for search - whether through traditional search engines or AI-powered search.  

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings.  

As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

Please note that we do not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) during our recruitment and selection processes, and we would respectfully ask that you also refrain from using AI during the selection process.

About us

We have made a commitment in our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to increase the diversity of our charity and we welcome candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We want our employees, volunteers and trustees to represent the broad diversity of the communities of which we are a part.

There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That’s one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life – affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as ‘just a bit of arthritis’. We don’t think that this is OK. Arthritis UK is here to change that.

Arthritis UK is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from harm. During the recruitment process we will undertake safer recruitment practices and relevant checks to ensure applicants are suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.
