Internal Communications and Engagement Officer

We have an exciting opportunity for an internal communications and engagement officer to join our supportive team on a 15-month fixed term contract.

Due to the urgency of this role, we are unable to consider individuals with more than a one month notice period.

As our first point of contact for the team you will need to be organised, able to balance varied tasks, and comfortable working under pressure as you help colleagues to deliver engaging and impactful communications for staff and volunteers. This role requires experience of copywriting and storytelling, with a strong understanding of what makes a good story. With good attention to detail, a can-do attitude and a desire to learn and grow, you’ll get lots of opportunity to develop your experience and skills with us.

Full job description available here. 

What’s in it for you – our benefits

So, you want to work for us? Good choice. We like it here too. We offer competitive salaries, flexible and hybrid working to suit your needs, family-friendly policies, 28 days annual leave inclusive of wellbeing days and a matched pension contribution up to 5%. You’ll have a structured induction and ongoing projects, secondments & learning opportunities. We also have colleague-led affinity groups made up of people with shared identities.

Your health and wellbeing is our priority. We have a staff community of Mental Health First Aiders, a Health Cash Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme. You’ll have free subscriptions to Headspace (your personal guide to mindfulness, sleep, focus, movement, and more) & Perkbox (an employee benefits platform with online exercise classes). That’s not all. We listen to your ideas and have staff forum and social committee networks.

Hybrid and flexible working: We are a flexible organisation, and we embrace hybrid working – a mix of connecting in person and remotely. We’re aware that the world is changing, and we all want and need different things from our work and home lives. So, if you need to walk the dog, go to the gym, or have commitments outside of work, we’re open to talking through flexible working options that work for you and us.

Being Inclusive: We recognise the enormous benefits and the social justice imperatives of ensuring diversity at every level of our organisation. Samaritans is wholly committed to inclusion and diversity and to building a culture and environment where everyone is appreciated for the unique person they are. To ensure Samaritans is representative of those we support and who support us, we particularly welcome applications from Disabled, BAME and LGBTQ+ candidates, as these people are under-represented at Samaritans.

Application 

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, please apply. You'll be asked to upload your CV and a 1-page cover letter about your skills and experience that make you suitable for the role. The role will close to applications at midnight on 21 August and interviews are expected to take place 30 August to 6 September.
