Medical Editor

Job Title: Editor

Duration: 12 Months
Remote role

Please note:
We are looking for candidates with flexible hours. These positions will begin as part-time for approximately 2 months and transition into more full-time roles (40 hours/week) as the coverage is needed for an employee on maternity leave and as business increases. Once the full-time editor is back from maternity leave, hours may fluctuate again between part-time and full-time, but we cannot fully predict the workload at this time
