**Job summary**:
The Ministry of Defence is looking for an Internal Communications Officer (Campaigns) within the central Internal Communications team. This is a varied and exciting opportunity to work within the busy Directorate of Defence Communications (DDC). This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

The central Internal Communications team delivers and coordinates communications to both military and civilian staff across the entirety of the MOD and its constituent parts, and is pivotal in creating a shared understanding of Defence’s vision, enabling all staff to understand their contribution to achieving its goals.

One of the largest Whitehall departments, the Defence workforce is made up of over 250,000 employees, across around 4,000 sites worldwide and as such, a strong and high-performing Internal Comms function is critical to our success. Our employees cover some of the broadest roles in government; including soldiers, sailors, pilots, and office workers, there are roles as diverse as doctors, teachers, police officers, engineers and scientists. Many are frontline operational roles and are not routinely connected to the Defence infrastructure, which necessitates a nuanced and agile approach to Internal Comms.

Our team is London based, and while much of our work is done within the digital workspace, we aim to come together in-person for two to three days a week, to help develop our relationships, share successes, problem-solve and plan for the future.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
Reporting to the Internal Communications Manager, you will join a growing Internal Communications team within the central Campaigns arm of Defence Internal Communications. You will play a key role in raising awareness and building engagement across a number of internal campaigns, with a particular focus on culture, values, strategy and future ways of working.

You will engage with stakeholders across Defence to design audience and insight-led communications and engagement plans to help raise awareness and build momentum around cultural change, across a diverse mix of Defence personnel.

Making use of a full range of internal communications channels including intranet content, social media, internal digital platforms, blogs, face-to-face events, video and management briefs, you will be committed to strengthening the voice of staff across Defence.
