Band 4 Apprentice Communications Officer
3 weeks ago
This job is a great way to start your NHS career. You’ll be joining an organisation where five per cent of staff, some of whom have worked here more than 20 years, are completing apprenticeships. We’re passionate about developing our staff and giving them opportunities they wouldn’t get anywhere else.
It’s a hands-on role. You won’t just be at a desk, but out and about on wards across our sites. Our Communications Officers have been involved when Hugh Pym and Victoria Macdonald have broadcast from the Trust; they’ve filmed an operation as part of our work to show how we’re cutting waiting lists; and they’ve produced graphics and posters for campaigns including winter vaccination and the staff survey.
You’ll help maintain the Trust’s digital and social media channels, respond to media enquiries and assist with internal communications and stakeholder engagement. After six months, you’ll be required to complete the Level 4 Public Relations and Communications Assistant apprenticeship. If you already hold this qualification, you aren’t eligible to apply.
If selected for interview, we’d like you to have read all about our Trust on our website, on our social media channels and in the media and then come to the interview with fresh ideas as to how we can improve what we do.
**Starting salary**: £29,460.
**To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria**:
Be 16 years old or over
Have the right to work in the UK
Have been permanently resident in the UK for the past three years
