Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is looking for a Communications Officer to join our team based at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

You will be joining our team of enthusiastic communication experts assisting staff across our four hospitals and other sites with internal and external communications. The Trust seeks to be digital first and has a comprehensive programme to support staff with their wellbeing and to provide excellent care for our patients and their families.

You will work across all aspects of communication and engagement including media relations, creating content for social media, supporting photography and filming and providing support at events.

You will have excellent writing and interpersonal skills as well as a track record of successful media management and digital communications results.

It provides a good starting role across a wide range of communications tasks from supporting filming documentaries, working with the media, internal communications, social and digital media campaigns to providing general support to the team.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
