Global Health Programmes Industrial Placement

Global Health Programmes is responsible for managing GSK’s investment in community health, with the aim of improving access to healthcare for the world’s most underserved populations.

Working across the company with a global remit, Global Health Programmes both responds to urgent health needs resulting from humanitarian emergencies, and manages innovative programmes which develop longer term health system strengthening. Examples of the programmes managed within the team are our global partnership with Save the Children, aimed at saving a million children’s lives in developing countries, our ground-breaking partnership with Comic Relief to combat malaria in endemic countries, and our pioneering partnerships with Barclays and Vodafone aimed at improving access to health in Africa. In addition, we manage GSK’s commitment to reinvest 20% of profits to improve access to health in the world’s poorest countries and our medicine donations which include donating 1 billion Albendazole tablets per year to tackle Lymphatic Filariasis and de-worm school aged children.

As a part of this dynamic team, you will be supporting delivery of these programmes, working with a variety of NGO partners and GSK colleagues across the world. Specifically, you will contribute to the development of new and existing partnerships, experiencing all stages from proposal and approval through to launch and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of projects. You will also be working to develop internal and external communications about our work across a variety of media. There are also opportunities to attend external events with NGO partners and other stakeholders.

What’s in it for me?

Do you want to work somewhere that’s deeply committed to personal and professional development – offering a range of support and learning opportunities? Do you want trust and respect? Do you want the chance to learn about a company operating with an incredibly diverse collection of businesses and geographies? Do you want to flourish in an environment that plays a vital part in the changing face of the business? Most of all, do you want to enjoy the sense of purpose that comes from leading change in an industry that touches millions every day? That’s what you’ll get at GSK.
