You will co-ordinate our communications across the organisation, responsible for producing a communications plan and working with the service teams to ensure it is adhered to.  You will collate and produce information with which you will use our brand guidelines to speak clearly using the High Trees voice, whether this is in order to draft fundraising bids or spread the message of our work.  You will have the IT literacy needed to produce the desk based research needed to provide the context for funders that our work is needed, quickly master in-design if this is not an existing skill and use the full range of social media platforms.
