Are you a brilliant team player, with an eye for a good story and the ability to communicate complex topics in a simple and engaging way?

We have an exciting opportunity for an innovative, creative and enthusiastic Senior Communications Officer to join our busy communications and engagement team for a 11 month period of maternity cover.

As an experienced communicator you'll thrive off planning and creating engaging content for our internal and external audiences. We’re looking for someone who can bring fresh and creative ideas for showcasing what makes SWASFT special, in line with our organisational priorities and values.

You will be organised, able to turn complex information into clear messages, and enjoy juggling a lively variety of topics and channels throughout the day.

We are a busy team so being able to manage competing deadlines and remain calm under pressure is essential.

This role is based in Exeter at Trust HQ, but may include travel to other sites within the South Western Ambulance Service (SWASFT area, and reports to the Internal Communications Manager.

This role supports the delivery of the overall Trust communications strategy, with responsibility for making sure deadlines are met, and specific projects and tasks are completed to a high standard.

The postholder will be involved in a range of activities to support both internal and external communications, with a particular focus on internal communications.

The postholder will have line management responsibilities.

A typical day could include writing articles for the weekly staff newsletter - the bulletin - and scripting and filming informative staff video updates from our Executive team alongside updating content on the staff app. As well as linking with senior colleagues.

Communications at SWASFT can be fast-moving with ever-changing priorities, therefore the post holder is expected to have an agile approach to work, be self-motivated, highly productive, take pride in their own work and be able to work to tight deadlines.

At South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) we have a culture where everyone is valued for being themselves. Our aim is to work together to promote the most inclusive environment possible, which attracts people from the widest range of backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work that we do together, for the benefit of all of our employees, our patients and the communities we serve.
