IGNITE internship

Location: London

Curious about what happens behind the scenes of a creative agency? Gain practical experience working on creative projects and briefs in healthcare communications.

OLIXIR UK, an Omnicom Health company, is one of Europe's most awarded healthcare communications agencies.

The IGNITE programme is designed to kick-start creative careers, giving emerging talent the opportunity to learn, grow and explore the impact of creativity in healthcare. Through a 15-week paid internship, we aim to open doors to the industry, regardless of background or previous experience. So, whoever you are and wherever you come from, if you’re passionate about creativity and its power to improve people’s lives, you can IGNITE your career with us.

Join our next IGNITE cohort, where fresh perspectives, diverse experiences and bold ideas come together to make a difference. We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about creativity, curious about healthcare and ready to IGNITE their potential at Olixir UK.

Are you always coming up with ideas that get people talking? We want imaginative thinkers who challenge conventions, bring fresh perspectives and see opportunities where others might not.

Throughout our 15-week internship, we’re looking for IGNITErs who are proactive, curious and eager to learn. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced creatives, develop your skills and discover how creativity, science and strategy come together to create meaningful work in healthcare.

Collaboration is at the heart of great creativity. You’ll be part of a supportive team where different perspectives are encouraged, ideas are valued and everyone has the opportunity to contribute.

We believe the best ideas grow when people feel confident sharing their thinking, asking questions and learning from feedback. At Olixir UK, your voice matters, and your perspective could help shape what comes next.

What you’ll experience

• An introduction to healthcare creativity — discover how creative ideas are developed and brought to life in a healthcare-focused environment.
• Hands-on experience — contribute to creative projects and briefs, exploring how ideas can engage audiences and make complex health and science topics more accessible.
• A grounding in the creative process — learn how insight, strategy and imagination come together to develop compelling creative work.
• Mentorship and development — learn from experienced professionals who can help you build your confidence, expand your skills and find your place in the creative industry.
• A collaborative environment — work alongside people with different skills and perspectives, sharing ideas and learning from one another.
