Internal Communications Officer

School/Service: External Relations

Grade: F (£27,131 - £31,411)

Ref: REQ006957

Here at the University of Central Lancashire, we offer the opportunities that create success. We’ve been transforming lives since 1828; by inspiring people from all walks of life to reach their full potential and achieve things they never thought possible.

We provide our students with an exceptional educational experience, produce high calibre graduates and life changing research that enhances the lives and prospects of communities across the North West, the UK and globally.

We are looking for an Internal communications Officer – a content creator that helps keep our internal audiences (colleagues and students) well informed, engaged with the university, and proud to work or study here.

As an accomplished writer, able to turn your hand to writing factually or creatively as and when needed, across any channel - from scripts and slides to blog posts, website content and FAQs. You’ll champion our clear and down to earth tone of voice, writing for your audience in their language, without jargon or fuss.

Holding a degree qualification in a communications, marketing, media, or creative discipline, you must also be confident in producing a range of content – from short videos to photography, social media messages, gifs, graphics, and website content.

Experience of publishing content using SharePoint is ideal but not necessary.

You will be part of a small team that works hard to get things done, helps others see ‘the bigger picture’ and punches well above their weight. We support and encourage each other, working as a team always. We are looking for someone with a good work ethic, who passionately loves communications; a team player who is great to work with.
