You'll need:
- Experience developing and delivering internal and external communications strategies
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to create engaging content for different audiences
- Experience delivering employee engagement initiatives and gathering meaningful feedback
- A good understanding of organisational culture, equality, diversity and inclusion
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders and influencing people across different levels of a business

- Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise effectively
- An analytical approach, with experience using engagement data and feedback to drive improvements
- The ability to handle sensitive information and challenging conversations professionally
- A relevant qualification in Communications, Marketing, HR, Business or equivalent professional experience
You'll be someone who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. We're particularly interested in someone who is proactive, confident building relationships and comfortable taking ownership of projects from initial planning through to implementation.
