**Job summary**:
Would you like to work at the heart of Government, communicating about some of the highest profile and most important issues the country faces? Would you like to make a real difference, helping to keep the UK safe and secure? Our communications directly help fight crime, secure our borders, and protect the most vulnerable people. The challenges the Home Office faces are significant and can change rapidly in the global environment in which we operate, making this one of the most exciting and stimulating Government Departments in which to work.

These roles will sit in a multi-disciplined team working together to deliver the Home Office’s communications strategy and to provide a first-class service to Ministers, the Department, and journalists. We are looking for people with a range of experience and backgrounds, to contribute to our exceptional communications output.

**Job description**:
The roles available span multiple communications disciplines: media / press office, external affairs, marketing, internal communications, strategic communications and campaigns.

For media roles including those on our News desk, you will be on the frontline of the team, responding to calls from journalists and shaping news as it develops. You will also be responsible for media and social media monitoring and rebuttal, providing Ministers and their political advisors with updates on news as it breaks; identifying inaccuracies or criticism, ensuring they are appropriately addressed; and ensuring the Home Office position is clearly reflected.

In our External Affairs team, you will engage with stakeholders on a broad range of policy and operational areas. You’ll share information, build advocacy, monitor stakeholder reactions, all in a timely way. You’ll work closely with colleagues to get to the heart of the message we want stakeholders to understand, and create strategies to achieve this, working collaboratively with colleagues across the communications directorate to align our approach. You will also work to improve the Department’s engagement, coordinating the Engagement Practitioners network, including secretariat work and delivery of a plan to expand and improve the function of the network.

In the marketing team, you will contribute to the planning, delivery and evaluation of priority marketing products and campaigns to meet business objectives. You will have strong experience in a communications delivery role, agency or client-side. You will bring expertise delivering integrated paid-for marketing campaigns and leading campaign activity from initial research through strategic development, creative and media planning and implementation and evaluation.

And in one of our proactive campaigns teams, you will work on a specific policy or operational area, devising and implementing creative communications plans covering direct, paid-for, low
- and no-cost marketing, media and digital. You will work closely with colleagues including policy officials and operational teams to advise on the role communications can play, devise and deliver clear communication plans, create clear and engaging materials, and any other duties vital to support the team to deliver a gold standard service.

In line with Home Office Hybrid Working policy it is expected that the post holder will spend a minimum of 40% of their hours in the workplace, with the remainder working from home. The post holder can work at any of the offices listed but for some of the roles significant travel will be involved, with frequent work within operational environments.

**Person specification**:
You will be part of a dynamic and collaborative team from a variety of professional backgrounds including communications and marketing agencies, journalism, local government, not-for-profit and the private sector.

The Communications Directorate celebrates a culture of inclusion and diversity where everyone is empowered to share their ideas and harness their unique talents to deliver top-rate communications.

Like many employers, we enable flexible working options (not homeworking) to enable staff to balance commitments including caring responsibilities.

We put learning and development at the heart of what we do. As part of the wider Government Communications
