  • Ensure the Diocese embraces best practice in digital communications, social media and emerging technologies, including AI
  • Manage the Communications & Engagement Team, supporting and developing staff to achieve their full potential
  • Build collaborative relationships with Church of England communications colleagues regionally and nationally

What we’re looking for

  • Significant experience of developing and delivering communications and engagement strategies within a complex organisation
  • Strong leadership and people management experience
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement, media and influencing skills
  • Experience of leading change and managing organisational risk
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience of budget management and strategic planning
  • A collaborative and resilient approach, with the confidence to challenge constructively and build strong relationships
  • A practising Christian who is committed to the mission and ministry of the Church and able to support the vision of the Diocese of Winchester
