Communications Officer

Full time (36 hours) – Fixed term until 31st March 2026

We’re looking for a creative communications professional to help us tell the story of our organisation.

To succeed, you will have previous experience in a communications environment and be flexible, switching from campaign marketing to reputational management, shooting video, or working with the media.

If internal communications is your thing, there is an opportunity to take a lead on the work we are doing to improve the way we keep our colleagues informed.

In return you will benefit from working in a fast-paced, challenging environment and be part of a fun, hardworking and extremely ambitious team. You will be surrounded by likeminded people who can support, advise and help you develop further in your career.

If you’re interested in this role, please make sure you apply.
