Northern GP Federation Support Unit


Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Belfast
Contract type: Full time

Social Media & Marketing Placement Student

SALARY: £24,071 per annum

REPORTS TO: Business Support Manager

LOCATION: Galgorm, Ballymena


Company Description

GP Federations were established in Northern Ireland with two main aims:

  • To support and protect GP Practices
  • To help deliver the transformation agenda in Health and Social Care


GP Federations aim to provide better care, delivered in a more responsive way and closer to home, for patients registered on the lists of practices within the Federation. The focus is on working across the local health and social care community, in collaboration with a wide number of agencies, to design and implement innovative healthcare strategies and ways of delivering high quality care.


Across Northern Ireland, there are 17 GP Federations which have been established by GPs to support General Practice and facilitate the transformation of health and social care in a Primary Care setting. Each Federation has been established as a Not-For-Profit Community Interest Company and any financial surplus generated through efficiency is re-invested in front-line services.


Each Federation covers a patient population of approximately 100,000 patients and, because of scale, provides services which would not otherwise be delivered at individual Practice level.


Role Description

We are seeking a creative, organised, and motivated Marketing & Social Media Placement Student to support our team. You will play a key role in helping us communicate effectively with our Northern Member GP Practices within our four Federations (Antrim Ballymena / Causeway / East Antrim and Mid Ulster), wider healthcare stakeholders by supporting content creation, campaign development, and digital engagement across our platforms. Ensuring all communication materials are written in clear, accessible language in line with best practice for public sector audiences. The student will be supported by the Business Support Manager and will receive regular feedback and guidance.


Person Specification

  • Currently undertaking an undergraduate degree in Marketing, Communications, Media, Business, or a related subject.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Passion for social media and digital content creation.
  • Creative thinker with strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team setting.
  • Interest in healthcare, community services, or public engagement.
  • Organised and able to manage time effectively.
  • Ability to contribute ideas and support projects that communicate change effectively.
  • Ability to interpret basic digital analytics and present findings clearly.


Closing date: 12 noon on Wednesday 5th November
