As a Senior Communications Officer, you'll be at the heart of this mission. You'll help shape and share the Trust's story, whether it’s celebrating the achievements of our colleagues, explaining complex changes in a clear and human way, or supporting patients and the public to better understand the care we provide.
Key responsibilities
* Support the full communications mix, from creating compelling content for internal and external channels, to handling media enquiries and proactively pitching stories to local and national journalists.
* Deliver proactive and responsive media relations, including drafting press releases, managing media enquiries, supporting staff with interviews and filming, monitoring press and social media coverage, maintaining media contact databases, and contributing to board-level reporting.
* Support stakeholder engagement through event coordination and database management, and craft compelling narratives that showcase Trust priorities, people, and patient stories.
* Produce internal publications such as the staff bulletin and manage digital content across the website and intranet.
* Advise departments on communications best practice, ensuring brand consistency and quality assurance; lead filming and photography projects, liaise with suppliers, and oversee print production.
* Contribute to sustainability and emergency communications, support major incidents, and participate in the out-of-hours rota.
* Provide general admin support and lead on specific communications projects as directed.
Candidate profile
We are looking for someone who sees communications not just as a function, but as a force for connection and change. You’ll be a strong communicator, a confident collaborator, and someone who can spot a great story and bring it to life with clarity and heart.
Benefits
* Learning and development opportunities to support your career progression.
* Generous annual leave entitlement and pension scheme (NHS benefits).
* Access to NHS discount schemes.
* Health and wellbeing services to promote a healthy, happy workforce.
Our commitment
We are working hard to increase diversity at all levels within the trust. We believe a diverse workforce can have a positive effect on both staff wellbeing and patient outcomes.
