The work
As part of the Internal and Change Communications team, you’ll contribute to annual communications plans and coordinate campaigns, content, approvals and timelines. You’ll meet stakeholders to agree communications approaches and turn complex information into clear messages for different audiences.
Writing spans intranet stories, colleague updates, leadership messages, briefings and newsletters. You’ll also review channel performance, colleague feedback and engagement data to identify improvements.
The role includes helping to deliver some of the organisation’s largest staff events: coordinating logistics and event communications, preparing materials, and supporting speakers, suppliers and stakeholders.
