Are you looking for a unique opportunity to promote the work of a dynamic team, which enables our Armed Forces to live, work, train and deploy? Are you experienced in delivering communications across a range of channels and to diverse audiences?

This is an exciting time for DIO Technical Services as the Environmental Management, Protection and Sustainability teams expand to respond to the challenges of Net Zero carbon, embedding climate resilience, and delivering social value through our procurements. We carry a high profile in the organisation, with a key role in delivering the new MOD Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy and the revised Greening Government targets.

This role offers an exciting challenge providing communications support to Environmental Management, Protection and Sustainability teams. With a wide remit from ecology, forestry and archaeology to biodiversity and natural capital, we play a meaningful role in the conservation and stewardship of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) estate.

The Environment and Sustainability Communications Officer is a new role, and you will need to be experienced in communications planning and delivery plus leading and implementing a strategy to support a growing and busy function. You will identify news stories and other communications opportunities and devise packages to promote them. With responsibility for managing the team’s own communications channels and working closely with the Corporate Communications team to promote DIO’s sustainability successes more widely, you will ensure that communications are planned and delivered effectively.

Sitting in the Environmental Support and Compliance team this role has a professional line into the DIO - Communications team, who will support your everyday activities, as well as your professional development.

As one of the UK’s largest landowners, MOD has a major role to play in the conservation of natural resources. The MOD has responsibility for some of the most unspoilt and remote areas in Britain; with statutory obligations to protect the habitats and the species that they support. This is an outstanding opportunity to work collaboratively, improving the reach of our communications to tell amazing stories to a wide-ranging audience.
