1 month ago


Leicester, United Kingdom University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Full time

Flexible-two days in office, three from home

Are you a high-achieving communications or marketing professional? Want to go home at the end of the day knowing the work that you’ve done has made a difference?

Develop your career in the rewarding world of NHS Communications at Leicester's Hospitals.

We are looking for a creative, curious communications person who is as comfortable in planning as they are in delivery and evaluation to join our team as a Communications Officer.

The role is a fast-paced and challenging one, working in a creative and supportive communications team at one of the five biggest NHS Trusts in the country. Every day at University Hospitals of Leicester we save lives, improve lives and usher in new life. Our hospitals are filled with passionate and creative teams and we are at our best when we work together.

The communications & engagement department also has a specialist medical illustration team that provide design and photography services to our many clinical areas, and a patient and community engagement team comprising our PPI/membership manager and assistant. Together we are responsible for the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) agenda, along with the management of the Trust’s patient partners and public members.

Sound like a team you'd like to join?

You will support across our diverse portfolio of internal and external communications projects, media, social media and crisis handling.

Taking on planning, delivery and coordination responsibilities for a wide range of communications you will help to translate creative ideas, team spirit and small budgets into effective communications with measurable results - helping us to become a better employer and a better place to receive care.

Working closely with the Head of Communications, you will find the stories that matter to our audiences and tell them in ways that people will hear. You will advocate for colleagues and patients by listening to people’s experiences and sharing those experiences with the right people to help shape change. And you will be supporting the delivery of internal and external communication campaigns in public health, excellence in healthcare, recruitment and organisational culture.

The communications team has a vital role in the delivery of Leicester’s Hospitals ambition to deliver Caring at its Best for every patient, every time.

To do this we tell the stories of our patients and our colleagues and use their insight and knowledge to improve the use of NHS services and the health of the public. Working as part of #TeamUHL Communications, you can go home knowing that your work contributes to the delivery of high-quality healthcare that can and does change lives.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals. We have our very own Children’s Hospital and run one of the country’s leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide ‘Caring at its best’ and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we’re here to do. They are:

- We focus on what matters most
- We treat others how we would like to be treated
- We are passionate and creative in our work
- We do what we say we are going to do
- We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that ‘Caring at its best’ is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
