NJR, hosted by HQIP is seeking a new team member to join our award-winning Communications team.

If you are seeking a great opportunity to work on a range of engaging communication project activity within a vital healthcare organisation, we would love to hear from you.

We are a small, dedicated team working in a dynamic and often fast-paced environment, and we are seeking an experienced Communication Content Manager to join us. As a key member of the NJR Management Team, you will play an important role in shaping and delivering communications and stakeholder engagement activity across a diverse portfolio of work. Working collaboratively with colleagues and partners, you will help to ensure our communications are effective, engaging and aligned with organisational priorities.

The mission of the National Joint Registry is to collect and analyse high-quality and relevant data about joint replacement surgery to provide timely warnings of issues relating to patient safety. In a continuous drive to improve patient outcomes and to ensure the quality and value of joint replacement surgery, we collect data to monitor and report on surgical outcomes, as well as to enable and support orthopaedic research. The NJR is one of the most influential healthcare registries in the world, with a significant international profile. Our strategy is overseen by the NJR Board, designated as an NHS England ‘expert committee’, that reports through the NJR Chair into NHS England.

The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) hosts the National Joint Registry, which is managed as a separate entity. HQIP is an independent organisation established to promote quality in healthcare and to increase the impact that clinical audit has on health care improvement.

HQIP manages NHS clinical audit work programmes on behalf of NHS England and other devolved nations. This includes the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcome Programme (NCAPOP) which consists of over forty national clinical audits and clinical outcome review programmes. HQIP is supported by two parent organisations: The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and The Royal College of Nursing.
