  • Champion inclusive and accessible communications
  • Support wider environmental communications at the University of Reading one day per week
Who You'll Work With

You'll be based in the University's External Relations team, reporting to the Director of Communications and Engagement, and working closely with the Head of School (Mathematical, Physical and Computational Science) consortium partners, and national sustainability programmes.

Who We're Looking For

You're a skilled communicator with:
  • Experience delivering communications for a large project or organisation or multi-stakeholder environments
  • Ability to translate complex ideas into accessible, engaging content for diverse education audiences
  • Knowledge of climate and sustainability, and Understanding of inclusive communications practices and digital accessibility
  • Professional in the use of social media tools including Linkedin, Instagram and Facebook.
Above all, we're looking for someone creative, collaborative, and committed to making a difference.

Why Join Us?
  • Be part of a national movement for climate action in education
  • Work with inspiring partners and passionate volunteers
  • Help shape the future of sustainability communications
