Senior Communications Officer

3 months ago


Poole, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Among the many things we’ve learned from dealing with the pandemic, the importance of good communication is right up there.

Our communications team has been in the thick of it, working with every part of our large community and mental health trust to make sure staff, patients, the public and all our stakeholders have the information they need.

Now we’re expanding the team to make sure we can continue engaging effectively with our wide range of audiences across the channels they prefer.

With recovery from COVID-19 and transformation of our services high on the agenda, there’s an exciting story to tell as our outstanding trust continues its journey of improvement.

You’ll be part of our lively, skilled and supportive corporate communications team, which has seen its influence, involvement and value grow significantly in the last couple of years.

You’ll be adept at writing scintillating copy, whether it’s for the web, social media, traditional media releases or targeted newsletters.

You’ll understand the importance of rich content like video, audio, photography and animation and be willing and able to develop creative ways to get our messages across to our audiences.

In return we’ll offer you the opportunity to learn and develop in an outstanding trust (CQC, 2019), working flexibly with a focus on maintaining your health and wellbeing and achieving a good work-life balance.

The post holder will manage internal and external communications channels, with a predominant focus on digital but also including audio visual formats.

The post holder will provide communications advice and
support to all staff members and stakeholders.

The post holder will be responsible for content management
through planning, production and management of content
across multiple channels, matching channels, styles and
messages to audiences as appropriate, internally and
externally.

The post holder will contribute to the strategic direction of
Communications Department. The post holder will contribute to the delivery of the directorate strategic plans and contribute to the development and delivery of key communications campaigns and initiatives.

You could be supporting services to publicise their good work or working to keep our 7,000+ staff engaged and informed so they can do the best possible job to improve the health and wellbeing of Dorset people.

You’ll need to be able to make friends and allies from all walks of life - we have a diverse workforce carrying out a fascinating variety of roles. You’ll be curious and compassionate in helping them to tell their stories to demonstrate the great work Dorset HealthCare does.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
