Responsibilities:

As our internal communications specialist for business change and transformation, you will be responsible for developing and implementing effective communication strategies to inform and engage employees. 

Work closely with senior leaders, project managers, and other stakeholders to understand the objectives, scope, and impact for most of our specific transformation and change projects. 

You’ll use this understanding to develop stakeholder engagement and communication plans and to craft clear and consistent messages that align with the council’s vision and values.

Working closely with colleagues from HR, organisation development and our change teams, you will work together to develop a consistent approach to change management and support a positive change culture by fostering employee involvement and feedback.

You will be an expert at leveraging our various communication channels and tools, such as newsletters, intranet, webinars, surveys, and events, to ensure timely and relevant communication with different audiences.

You’ll use your insight to make recommendations for how we can do things better in the future.

Requirements

As an experienced internal communications professional, you’ll know how to make the best use of corporate communications channels.

You will have an excellent grip on the effectiveness of our communication activities through the various success measures you have established.

You’ll also seek to find ways to share your internal communications skills and knowledge to support project managers and other comms professionals across the organisation to deliver individual change and transformation programmes.
