Welcome to the Boots Internal Communications team - it’s an exciting role in the heart of the organisation

In this role, you will look at exciting ways to inform our people, grow engagement, and inspire team member advocacy across multiple campaigns and projects.

Meaningful and effective internal communications are at the heart of our culture - and this role is key to ensuring we connect with all our team members in the right ways at the right times, and enable our people to thrive at work and connect with each other.

This role needs someone who loves shaping and delivering bold and engaging team member communications. You will have a proven track record of successfully using communications and engagement tools, tactics and techniques. With a creative mindset, great planning and curiosity, you bring projects and campaigns to life, both digitally and face-to-face.

You will report to the Head of Internal Communications and have no direct reports.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Support and deliver creative and engaging communication campaigns supporting our commercial strategic priorities and HR-led projects.
- Support and deliver professional written, visual and digital content across Boots and No7BC’s internal channels.
- Create opportunities to support great conversations between leaders, managers and team members through our core internal communication channels.
- Measure and report on the effectiveness of our comms activities and channels and use your learnings as the basis for ongoing improvement.
- Support with the successful delivery of business-as-usual communications activity.
- Prioritise relationships with your key stakeholders and actively build and develop them.
- Able to pre-empt stakeholder needs, plan communications in advance, and to always be thinking one step ahead, to yield best results.

**What you’ll need to have**:

- You have excellent writing and verbal skills and a strong command of the English language.
- You have a passion for storytelling, creative use of language, visuals, flair and tone of voice to create compelling content in engaging formats.
- You’re a newshound, and love connecting with people on a personal level to unearth meaningful stories and content - and bring them to life in a considered, responsible way.
- Creative and with an eye for design. You can create engaging content using Adobe Creative Suite, and will turn your hand to other platforms if required.
- An excellent working knowledge of social media and digital technology.
- You use your planning skills to manage your workload, on-time delivery, and expectations of those you work with.

It’d be great if you’re also:

- Able to work quickly and to tight timescales.
- Aware of the broader internal comms industry, you seek information and examples of what other companies IC teams are doing, and you know what internal communications best practice looks like.
- Curious and brave - to try new things.
- Able to naturally motivate colleagues and work well as part of a cross-functional team.
