The Senior Communications Officer will work with the Director of Communications and Public Engagement and colleagues across the department, developing communications that support the department's strategic objectives, with a focus on internal and cross-departmental communications, digital media production and corporate communications.

What you'll do

You will develop communications plans and create content for a range of audiences, channels, projects, campaigns and events, and evaluate communications activity to help shape future plans.

The role includes organising internal events and meetings, coordinating media relations, and championing consistent use of department and University branding. You will also line manage the Communications Assistant.

How you'll work

The post is full-time (part-time considered) and fixed-term for one year in the first instance.
