Position: Communications Officer - Publications and Design
Location: Kidlington/Hybrid
Hours: Part-time, 30 hours per week
Salary: £29,165.87 actual per annum (£36,457.34 to £39,281.04 FTE per annum)

The Role
This role is to publicise the work of the diocese to clergy, laity, communities and parishioners, and shine a light on their endeavours and successes. The team tells the stories of 808 churches and their communities while supporting the other teams and departments in the diocese in sharing their news and projects.
You will play a key role in delivering on-brand and engaging content and will develop, edit, project manage, design, and copy write communications across a wide range of channels. You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to develop messaging, design, and tone of voice that is appropriate to the audience/channel while ensuring the highest possible editorial standards.
There is occasional weekend and evening working, so some flexibility is essential. Meeting deadlines and prioritising projects will be a core part of this role. The organisation operates a hybrid model, so 60% of your hours will be in the office.
About You
We are seeking someone with established design skills and experience of drafting, writing, proofing, and finalising written content for both online and print purposes. You will be highly organised, technically literate, flexible, and a calm presence in a busy office. You will have an aptitude for eye-catching design and powerful written materials, using our brand and style guidelines.
