South Wales Fire and Rescue Service is seeking a motivated and creative communications and engagement professional to join our busy Media Relations and Communications Team based at our headquarters in Llantrisant.
Communication and engagement both play a critical role within the Service’s mission of ‘keeping South Wales safe by reducing risk’. The post holder will work across all aspects of communications and engagement, producing innovative solutions when organising and facilitating engagement activities and internal/external communications. This will include campaign management, liaison with press, facilitating and coordinating large scale and localised engagement events.
Applicants are required to have strong writing skills and the ability to add creative flair to our in-house produced content, including events and activities around recruitment, risk reduction and Service reputation. The post will require working collaboratively with a wide range of partners and stakeholders across 10 unitary authorities using a range of methods to proactively drive forward the Service's Communications and Engagement Strategy.
Within this varied role, no day will be the same with competing deadlines, so the successful candidate will need to be efficient, well organised and confident working independently. As well as being able to use their own initiative and develop new ideas, the Service is looking for a team player who will enjoy working collaboratively. The ability to travel independently is essential for this post as the role will demand engagement with internal departments across all our Stations and Service premises within South Wales including external partners and key stakeholders.
If you’re a creative storyteller with a keen eye for a news story, then we can’t wait to hear from you!
