Wymondham, United Kingdom Norfolk County Council Full time

Are you an experienced communications professional eager to make a difference in a fast-paced, challenging and rewarding environment? Join Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) as our Senior Communications Officer and contribute to our ongoing growth and improvement.

As a Senior Communications Officer, you’ll play a vital role in achieving our communications objectives by developing and implementing targeted safety, recruitment, and awareness campaigns for diverse internal and external audiences. You’ll help cultivate a strong internal culture by sharing good news stories, promoting pride and purpose within our fire family.

You’ll expertly craft campaign plans for various communication channels, collaborating with partner agencies to ensure consistency, and engaging with local and national media to offer our professional voice on incidents and safety messages while managing our external reputation.

You’ll analyse the effectiveness of our communications efforts and budget, reporting back to the Senior Leadership Team. You’ll be part of our on-call rota, providing strategic communications advice and support 24/7, while assisting the Communication Manager and stepping in as their deputy when needed.

Prior experience in local government or blue light communications would be beneficial, as is the ability to build effective relationships through partnership working across organisational and professional boundaries.

If you are already an experienced communications officer, seeking a fulfilling role where you can make a real difference, this opportunity is for you.

At NFRS, we maintain the highest professional standards, and applicants will be asked to confidentially disclose any past or present complaints related to their conduct. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and we expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.

You’ll work in collaboration with NCC Communications Team to ensure consistency of messaging and approach.

All information provided will be treated as strictly confidential and considered solely in relation to the position for which you’re applying.

Applications should include a CV and supporting statement (of up to 2000 words) demonstrating how your experience matches the person specification (see link below)
