Health Policy Journalist

You will be a specialist fact checker working as a key part of Full Fact's new health programme, a dedicated part of our editorial team which we are establishing in 2023 to fight bad health information. You will be responsible for spotting, exposing and tackling bad information, writing a number of fact checks each week, and will also be expected to write features and other content as required. We are ideally looking for candidates with some journalism experience, but will consider candidates from other backgrounds and prior fact checking experience is not necessary. We do want someone with significant pre-existing knowledge of health policy - either working as a specialist journalist or in some other professional capacity. You will need to be able to quickly master and explain tricky, nuanced topics in clear, concise and impartial copy - and must have an eye for a story.
