**About the Communications Department**:
The ICO’s work affects every single person in the UK. Our regulatory role impacts how healthcare can innovate to help you live longer, how social media firms select the content you see and how police can use technology to reduce crime. We oversee how you can access information about how your taxes are spent, or about how a company is using your data. It is our communications department’s role to tell those stories.
We work to support the office’s work in explaining the law and influencing the behaviour of organisations. We help people to understand their information rights, and support public trust and confidence in the responsible use of data. And we increase public and stakeholder awareness of the benefits of what we do, protecting and enhancing our reputation.
What does that mean in practice? Working with national print and broadcast media, placing stories, building a contacts book and spotting opportunities. Growing our social media following, finding new ways to engage audiences in our work and creating content people want to see. And ensuring our website reflects the breadth of work and level of detailed guidance that characterise the ICO.
**About the role**:
Our news team secures the coverage that engages people in what the ICO does. We want an experienced media professional who can communicate, explain and raise awareness of the ICO’s work. You will have experience of working in a busy press office and be comfortable working across a full range of channels including national print titles, broadcast, regional, consumer and trade publications and social media channels.
We want someone who can spot opportunities to tell the ICO’s story in an engaging and creative way and can respond to reputational risks in the same impactful way. You will have specialist expertise across all communication channels and will be comfortable building a contacts book both inside and outside the ICO. We want someone who can successfully lead on communications campaigns, with a keen eye on detail, delivery, impact and the bigger picture. You’ll be an expert voice, advising others on media approaches and helping to continue the development of a professional and proactive press team.
**Equality, diversity and inclusion**
The ICO is committed to promoting and enhancing equality, diversity and inclusion. We are focused on developing a workforce that is representative of the communities we serve and together we are building an inclusive workplace where all of our colleagues have the opportunity to make a real difference. We are championing this through our Equality Diversity and Inclusion Board together with a number of staff networks. Read more about our commitment on our website.
**To Apply**
Please note if you are appointed to work with the ICO you will be required to complete security clearance processes (identity and qualification checks plus Basic Disclosure level check of unspent criminal convictions).
