Strategic Communications Manager (Campaigns)
£28,200.50 (£56,401 FTE) per annum
Part time, 17.5 hours per week
Permanent contract
London based contract with the option of hybrid working in the office and from home*.
Too many people miss out on the essential rehabilitation they need after major events like strokes and heart attacks or to manage a condition such as arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
You might be one of those people.
One in four people in the UK now live with a long-term health condition, so the chances are you at least know someone whose quality of life could be improved through better care outside of hospital.
We are working tirelessly to deliver change – and now we need your help to make it happen.
About the role:
In this role, you will plan and manage the coordination, delivery, quality control and evaluation of assigned communication campaigns (initially focusing on our workforce workstream) and other communications projects as required.
You will advise directors, assistant directors and workstream leads on how communications can help achieve their strategic goals. Additionally, you will work closely with comms and policy colleagues in-house to deliver plans.
Please review the job description via the Apply via website button below.
About you:
We’re seeking a talented Strategic Communications Manager to work in a high profile area.
You need to be a problem-solver, able to create a plan with tactics to target different audiences and political influencers. You also need to be creative and capable of writing and producing high quality content.
You should have an excitement for communicating using digital platforms, but have a sound grounding across other disciplines to work with our talented teams throughout the organisation.
With extensive experience of successfully managing a significant health or social care campaign or similar type of experience, you will have in-depth knowledge of how to use digital and non-digital campaigns to influence behaviour and effect policy changes.
You will be able to work collaboratively across the organisation, offering support to colleagues and the accountable Assistant Director to enable them to use qualitative and quantitative data to gain insight into the audience.
Finally, you will have the courage to take risks, follow through on what you say you will deliver, be open to learning and looking for an organisation with a culture where all of that is encouraged.
