  About The Company
  About the Team
  Technology is at the heart of our organisation. It empowers our colleagues to deliver the best in class service to our Members, whether that be through our systems, platforms and architecture or robust data insights to help influence business decisions.
  It is a very exciting time to get involved in our Member Experience, Digital and Data (MEDD) division, as the team are currently developing new Cloud-based architecture, introducing a new CRM system that will allow for better cross-team collaboration and streamlining our Member journey through customer-centric product development.
  How MEDD work
  We offer a truly-flexible hybrid working arrangement that is centred around our colleagues’ work-life balance. Technology allows us to collaborate effectively regardless of location, but we know sometimes you can’t beat being with your team in-person and our team tends to come on-site once or twice a month. However, we expect this can fluctuate throughout the year depending on our projects and current work.
  The Medical Protection Society Ltd (MPS) is the world’s leading protection organisation for Doctors, Dentists and healthcare professionals. We protect and support the professional interests of almost 300,000 members around the world.
  We are a not-for-profit organisation, meaning member’s subscriptions are either invested into bettering the organisation, colleagues and products, or kept safe should members require support for complaints or claims arising from professional practice.
  Our philosophy is to support safe practice in medicine and dentistry by helping to avert problems in the first place. We also actively campaign for regulatory and legal reforms that benefit members and the wider healthcare professions.
  To do this, we need colleagues who are trusted and supported to deliver their best work, whether that be through leadership development, fully funded training courses or peer-to-peer support. We want colleagues to feel empowered to deliver positive change, display ambition to push themselves and be determined when faced with a challenge, whilst ensuring members best interests are at the core.
