About the RCPCH

The RCPCH has more than 25,000 members and fellows worldwide and plays a leading role in improving child health and supporting paediatricians across the UK and internationally. Our examinations play an important role in supporting high professional standards and assessing the knowledge and skills of doctors working in paediatrics.

Our values - Include, Influence, Innovate and Inspire - are central to everything we do. We are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and disabled candidates who are under-represented at this level of the organisation.

We operate a flexible and modern hybrid working policy. This role is based across our London office and home working, with approximately 40% of working time in our London office over a four-week period and the remainder working remotely. The role may occasionally require travel within and outside London, including overnight stays, and some weekend or out-of-hours support may be required.

The RCPCH is committed to safeguarding the children, young people and adults it has contact with. All staff are expected to share this commitment. Employment is subject to satisfactory references and appropriate screening checks. As the College expands its involvement with children and young people, this role may in future be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if sufficient applications are received. If you are interested, please submit your application as soon as possible.
