About The Role
Are you a good communicator, able to build positive relationships with key stakeholders and internal teams? Do you want to contribute to communications campaigns and be part of a team that ensures our activity makes Alzheimer’s Society the go-to choice for people concerned or wanting to learn more about dementia?
We are recruiting for a Strategic Communications Officer to join on a permanent, home-based contract. This is a full-time role, working 35 hours per week.
We are building a new Strategic Communications Team to foster collaboration, enhance clarity and consistency across our channels and improve efficiencies in how we work. As our new Strategic Communications Officer you will work alongside the Senior Strategic Communications Manager and Senior Strategic Communications Officer, contributing to and delivering operational activity across our external-facing channels, to ensure our work is strategic, joined up and impactful.
You will help ensure our communications activity is integrated and co-ordinated across the organisation and you’ll assist with the planning and evaluation of our high priority ‘moments’, ensuring our activity makes Alzheimer’s Society the deliberate go-to choice for people concerned or interested about dementia.
In this role you’ll be working closely with media, social media, celebrity and ambassador, internal communications and brand and marketing functions on a daily basis and you’ll look to build strong relationships with colleagues across the wider organisation.
About you
Joining us, you’ll have experience working on marketing and/or communications projects and knowledge of the key marketing and communications channels. You’ll also be able to remain organised and prioritise effectively while managing multiple projects and tasks simultaneously.
Crucially, due to the collaborative nature of this role, you’ll need to have good written and communication skills combined with the ability to work effectively with others and build positive relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.
What you’ll focus on:
1. Managing the communications calendar and helping with the running of the Integrated Communications Forum, ensuring consistent messaging, timely execution, and effective coordination across channels and among teams.
2. Managing traffic of briefing documents and contributing to the running of the Society’s communications briefing process across teams and channels, ensuring a shared understanding of project's goals, scope, and objectives among stakeholders, leading to smoother project execution and improved outcomes.
3. Providing operational project-management support on complex communications campaigns, working with teams across the Society to ensure maximum impact.
4. Providing reporting of our external communications to the organisation and produce one off reports as required.
5. Building relationships with colleagues across the organisation, representing the communications functions in meetings to ensure our communications priorities are clear across the organisation.
6. Driving equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging considerations through all your work, both internal and external facing.
