The job of the Communications Officer is to ensure that the Society reaches all of its audiences effectively. At the core of the role is our Fellowship – strengthening our communication of their achievements, and making it easier for them to engage effectively with the Society.

The Officer will ensure that the Society’s work – including our events, policy work and medals for achievement – reaches a wider audience than ever before. They will also work with our partners in the higher education sector to promote our activities within universities, and to ensure strong engagement with our new programme for Early Career Researchers.

The Officer will take responsibility for a number of communication channels, including the Society’s website, social media, Fellows’ bulletin and mailing lists. They will develop our press coverage and help to ensure a strong presence at relevant external events.

The role is based at the Society’s offices in Cathays Park, Cardiff.

Daily tasks will include social media posts, promoting events, and keeping the website up to date. You will also need to keep on top of our overall work programme – taking a keen role in staff meetings, and talking to other team members so that you take account of their communication needs.

When we are putting on public events, you will spend time writing emails, tweets, press releases and other material to help ensure they are well attended. You’ll also need to attend some of the events, taking full advantage of opportunities for press coverage, social media and photo/video output.

In November each year, we open nominations for the Society’s Medals – this will be a key time for the Communications Officer, as you will need to promote the Medals to a wide audience. Another busy time of year is when we announce the election of new Fellows in Spring – you will have the task of working with our partner universities to celebrate their achievements.

Although you will work closely with our small team of five other staff members, you’ll need to be able to work accurately and sometimes with limited supervision. We expect the Communications Officer to adapt to the Society’s current communications style quickly, but also to advise us on how we can become more engaging.
