An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Communications team at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

You will be a compassionate, accountable individual who treats all colleagues, patients and service users with respect and seeks to deliver excellence in their role. You will share the Trust values and be committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Effective communication is a vital part of providing the best possible care to children and their families. For example:
It helps patients and their families understand what to expect when they come to the Trust, alleviates concern, helps them to manage conditions at home and helps them get the support they need.

It allows staff to understand the organisation they work for and play a full role in delivering the strategic objectives. It also helps to recruit the best possible employees.

and for a variety of channels, eg print, web, social media.

Managing flow of requests and information and making sure information reaches the right people, and is escalated where appropriate.

Sheffield Children’s is one of three independent, specialist paediatric hospitals in the country, providing dedicated healthcare for children and young people across community, mental health and acute specialist settings.
