Within the Communications team we have people working in every aspect of the business, and in every part of the UK, all with a wide range of expertise. Everyone is welcoming and there are always opportunities to work on new projects, that develop your skills and experience”.

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

**What you’ll be doing**

The Public Affairs Officer will support the Senior Public Affairs Manager and Head of Corporate Affairs in delivering the public affairs plans for the EDF Business Units. You will provide advice and guidance on external communications issues, identifying risks and pro-actively protecting the company’s reputation.

Focusing on specific topics, you will plan and draft communication materials and briefings and take responsibility for ensuring the timely and accurate compilation and submission of accurate reports.

We are looking for somebody with excellent communication skills, both written and oral with a particular focus on communicating complex topics to a variety of audiences.

You will have previous Political or Public Affairs experience with a strong understanding of UK politics and the UK political process, good influencing skills and ability to work well with others in a large and complex organisation.

As the Public Affairs Officer you will demonstrate a good understanding of consumer affairs and key consumer topics in energy and the ability to communicate complex, technical issues in a more simple and effective way.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you
