Are you passionate about using your communications skills to make a real difference in your community while growing your career? If so, this is your opportunity to help us share powerful stories, connect with our audiences, and deliver engaging, high-quality content that showcases our strong communities.

The role

As Communications Officer, you will play a key role in shaping how we share our stories, achievements, and updates. You will work across the full communications cycle — from researching audiences and planning campaigns, to delivering high-quality written and video content, and evaluating performance.

You’ll be responsible for content across multiple channels including our website, social media and internal platforms, ensuring our messages reach the right people at the right time. You’ll bring fresh ideas, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to create content that resonates.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is:

• An excellent writer and communicator, able to adapt tone and style for different audiences
• Experienced in creating both written and video content for web and social media
• Skilled in using digital tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe, video editing software, CMS, social media platforms)
• Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects at once
• Curious, creative, and excited to try new approaches

A collaborative and proactive approach to work is key, along with a professional, polite, and friendly manner. You’ll need to be confident and comfortable meeting members of the public and creating content with them. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and can balance competing priorities with ease, we’d love to hear from you.
