Amazing Opportunity – Join The Clinician Editorial Team

Do you have a passion for acupuncture, plenty of ideas and enjoy connecting with people? We’re looking for a proactive new member to join the editorial team behind The Clinician.

The Clinician is the journal of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC), published twice a year for our members and subscribers.

Each edition brings together a wide range of articles from acupuncturists and other health professionals, covering clinical practice, research, professional issues, health and wellbeing, and the many different areas of acupuncture and integrative healthcare.

We’re looking for an AAC member who is enthusiastic and self-motivated who can help us develop both the editorial content and advertising opportunities within the journal on a voluntary basis.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is proactive and self-motivated, with the ability to work on their own initiative
• Has a genuine passion for acupuncture and the wider profession
• Is organised, reliable and able to work to deadlines
• Has good written and verbal communication skills
• Is confident approaching and communicating with potential contributors and advertisers
• Has an eye for interesting topics, new ideas and different perspectives
• Is comfortable building professional relationships and following up opportunities
• Has an interest in identifying potential advertisers relevant to acupuncture, healthcare and our readership
• Is happy to contribute ideas and help shape future editions
• Enjoys working collaboratively as part of a team, while also being comfortable working independently

Previous editorial or advertising experience isn’t essential – we’re more interested in finding someone with enthusiasm, initiative, good communication skills and the willingness to get involved.

What would you be involved in?

As part of the editorial team, you’ll have the opportunity to help:

Editorial

• Generate ideas for future editions
• Identify and approach potential contributors
• Develop a varied programme of articles and features
• Liaise with acupuncturists and other health professionals
• Review and help shape content for publication
• Bring new ideas and perspectives to The Clinician

Advertising

• Identify potential advertisers who would be relevant to our members and subscribers
• Proactively approach businesses and organisations about advertising opportunities
• Build relationships with existing and potential advertisers
• Follow up advertising enquiries and opportunities
• Help us develop ideas for attracting new advertisers
• Represent The Clinician and the AAC professionally when speaking with potential advertisers

This is an opportunity to become more involved with the AAC, connect with practitioners and health professionals across the profession, and play a real part in developing a publication that reaches our members and subscribers twice a year.

Interested?

If you’re enthusiastic, reliable, full of ideas and enjoy both content and connecting with people, we’d love to hear from you.
