Working closely with the Marketing & Communications Manager, you will play a key role in delivering clear, purposeful and engaging communications across the Trust. This is a genuinely hands‑on role, ideal for someone who enjoys being out in schools and communities, listening, capturing stories and turning them into meaningful communications that bring our Trusts work to life.
Key Responsibilities
* Trust-wide communications for staff, schools and communities
* Internal communications that connect people and build understanding
* Community engagement activity that strengthens relationships with families and local partners
* Content creation across a range of channels, sharing the real stories of our schools
This role will give you the opportunity to influence how our Trust communicates, both internally and externally, at a time when those connections matter more than ever.
Why This Role Is Different
* Visible and people-focused, based on relationships and presence
* Grounded in the day‑to‑day life of schools and communities
* A chance to help shape a developing Trust communications function
* An opportunity to show initiative, creativity and leadership
For the right person, this role offers valuable experience, influence and the chance to grow with the organisation.
What We’re Looking For
* Has experience in communications, engagement or a related field
* Is confident communicating with a wide range of audiences
* Enjoys building relationships and working collaboratively
* Can turn information and conversations into clear, engaging content
* Is organised, proactive and comfortable working across multiple settings
* Experience in education, the public sector or community‑focused organisations would be an advantage, but is not essential
Cumbria Education Trust is a growing Trust serving communities across the county. Our focus is on supporting great schools, developing strong Trust services and building meaningful relationships with the communities we serve. This new role reflects our commitment to ensuring communication and engagement are central to how we operate as a Trust.
