Content Designer

Our Future Health will be the UK’s largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent, and treat diseases. Our goal is to create a world-leading resource for health research, to improve our understanding and spot the patterns of how and why common diseases start, so treatments can begin sooner and be more effective.

Embedded in a cross-functional team, you will help to discover, define, develop and deliver the Recontact programme – an initiative that allows health researchers to invite Our Future Health volunteers to take part in follow-on studies. This means identifying and designing content that supports our user journeys, so that people from all backgrounds can experience seamless interactions with Our Future Health.

Our Future Health will be the UK’s largest-ever health research programme, designed to help people live healthier lives for longer through the discovery and testing of more effective approaches to prevention, earlier detection and treatment of diseases.

We will invite 5 million people to take part and provide information about their health and lifestyles to create an incredibly detailed picture that represents the whole of the UK.

By acting together on this scale, we can help researchers identify the key health, genetic and environmental triggers for diseases earlier, in order to treat them sooner and dramatically improve patient outcomes.

Let’s prevent disease together.
