**The Role**

Express new ideas, take initiative and save lives. Others talk about being brave, at IC24, we’re made that way.

From providing high quality integrated urgent care for over six million people, to thinking of innovative solutions for our patients - every role at IC24 is made to be brave.

Are you a generalist Head of Communications with experience across branding, marketing, and comms?

As Head of Communications, you will lead the function to build our brand across internal and external markets, to raise our profile and improve engagement and awareness of what we do, whilst aligning our approach to our strategic aims as an organisation.

You will lead on and oversee the design of creative and effective ways of delivering information to our key stakeholders to ensure that they feel involved and invested in IC24’s service delivery and identify new opportunities for external engagement.

You will also help us navigate our world externally through the delivery of a proactive programme of external communications including promoting the organisation using social media, media relations, stakeholder relations and marketing opportunities. You will lead in anticipating and responding to media enquiries, but more importantly will have the eye for a good news story and be able to proactively promote the organisation.

As someone who is a natural at cultivating relationships, you will also empower our regional leadership teams to contribute to locally based stakeholder relations through developing close working relationships and the design of relevant and engaging toolkits.
