Our talented, flexible, collaborative people

make the Difference in our high-performance healthcare communications collective

We are a great many

You won’t be an employee. You’ll be an experienced, independent freelancer working flexibly on your terms.

But rather than going it alone, you’ll be part of our thriving virtual community. We all want the same things: fulfilling, high-impact work that fuels our passion for healthcare and communications. We’re motivated people who want to stay at the top of our game and make full use of our expertise and experience. We enjoy fresh and varied work. We discuss, challenge, support, encourage and banter.

Difference Collective members get opportunities to work on interesting and challenging projects from a diverse pipeline. Your teammates on each project will be as experienced and knowledgeable in their fields as you are. It’s incredibly satisfying to collaborate with talented, like-minded people.

We are the selective Collective

We make big promises to our clients about the talent of our people and the results they deliver. That’s why we have a formal application process, to check your experience, skills, credentials and approach.
Our members are experienced, senior-level communications professionals with a strong healthcare track record. They are generally recommended to us by peers and clients.
If you like the sound of becoming a member, fill in the application form and, if you meet our selection criteria, we’ll set up a video interview. We’ll talk to you about your motivations and experience. Naturally, you’ll have questions for us too. We’ll have a good chat and take it from there.

We’re committed to Collectivity

We welcome members who contribute actively to the Collective, benefiting from each other’s knowledge and resources. Collaboration, sharing ideas, seeking support and expertise and helping with business development are all vital ways each individual contributes to the health of the whole Collective. For example, members write blog posts about interesting market developments and brief colleagues about innovation and client-facing experiences.

We each pay a small annual membership fee and an admin charge for project work we undertake because we understand the value of the infrastructure and opportunities that the Collective gives us.

The Difference Collective means working differently, working flexibly, working with brilliant colleagues. Being part of such great teams means bringing your A-game to every meeting – listening and learning tons along the way. And it’s so flexible for clients – bringing in heavy hitters on specific topics as needed but without the hefty overheads. I love working with The Difference Collective – it combines the best of being a freelancer with the benefits of belonging to a special team.”

I learn something new almost every time I interact with the senior consultants on the team, and after 25 years of working in healthcare, that's something to talk about! The Difference is a flexible team of experienced people at the top of their game, on hand when the client needs them - and now, more than ever, this new approach is relevant and of more value to our customers. It’s great to be a part of this new way of working, you can feel the difference we can make."
