Stakeholder Communications Officers

We are recruiting two Stakeholder Communications Officers. The role sits within the Policy and Communications team. Depending on your portfolio, you will report to either the Communications Manager or the Policy and Stakeholder Relations Manager.

Stakeholder Communications Officers lead on communication activity with local authorities, care providers, MPs and other external stakeholders. This is a varied, hands-on communications role with real scope to shape how a public interest organisation tells its story and engages with its audiences.

Postholders are given a defined portfolio of work, but all share a core set of responsibilities and work closely together across the team. One postholder will focus primarily on publications and content, while the other will focus on stakeholder communication and relationship management. Both will work flexibly according to business need and may, subject to management discretion, operate across the full range of stakeholder communications activity

These are new roles within the organisation. As part of the role you will be expected to shape your role to deliver the maximum impact from our communications and stakeholder engagement with support from your manager and the wider team.

We plan on dividing work between two distinct portfolios. Publications and Content (Portfolio A) and Stakeholder Communications and Engagement (Portfolio B)
