Got a passion for telling a good story and able to create strong working relationships with teams throughout the country?
We’re looking for someone to work with our Head of Internal Communications and help with the daily ebb and flow of internal communications.
We’re going through an exciting and very busy period transforming the way we work to reach 100% of deaf children and their families who may need our help and services. Alongside this, the shift to more flexible and hybrid ways of working is changing the ways we’re all working and internal communications is vital if we’re to be successful.

You’ll work on internal events, engage on Workplace and keep a watching brief on our intranet to create interesting and engaging content. There will also be plenty of opportunity to get involved with our ED&I working group, wellbeing and a variety of other activities across the charity. As it’s internal communications, anything can pop up as you support our teams to share their work and stories.
If you have great writing skills and love the buzz of internal communications, then we’d love to hear from you. We’re starting to use agile methods so any experience you bring in this is a bonus.
