The role
We’re looking for an experienced, driven and motivated communications specialist to join our small but busy communications team. You’ll be responsible for the organisation and delivery of internal and external campaigns, communicating complex ideas from a broad scope of Local Partnerships’ business areas to different audiences across a range of digital channels, from websites and multimedia to e-bulletins and social media. You’ll also develop, implement and manage our programme of internal and external events over digital channels and in person.
The requirements
We’re looking for a meticulous and organised individual who has experience of communicating rich content to time-poor stakeholders. Working in collaboration with specialist staff, you will contribute to writing and disseminating inspiring copy that succinctly communicates complex content. You will have the creativity to exploit a full range of communications channels and techniques, including social media and events, to ensure information reaches the right people, sparking engagement and increasing reach.
You will have excellent organisational and project management skills, a practical and positive “can do” attitude, an interest and proven ability in internal and external communication. You will be comfortable juggling different priorities and tasks and working with a range of different stakeholders. You will be confident in your communications abilities so that you can advise colleagues to develop their presentation skills to showcase their expertise most effectively.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop their marketing and communications experience in a small, but busy, communications team.
Experience of local government/public services would be an advantage but not essential.
