Here is a great opportunity for contractors based in Edinburgh, Belfast or Cardiff to work with one of the UK’s leading professional medical bodies and a well-known name in mental health.
Acting as Interim Senior Media & Comms Officer, you’ll anchor the organisation’s communications portfolio across the devolved nations (Wales, Scotland & N Ireland). You’ll lead on all media activity, deliver creative campaigns and help to articulate policy conversations, working closely with the wider Communications team and reporting to the Head of External Affairs.
This role will suit an experienced, media-savvy professional. You’ll be comfortable engaging with journalists & other stakeholders in external settings and plugged into current affairs across the devolved nations and beyond. In return, you’ll be instrumental in hugely credible and intellectually stimulating work that has real meaning to millions.
Our client has offices in Belfast, Edinburgh & Cardiff and so you’ll need to spend at least 2x days each week onsite. You’ll also need to be available to start from late May.
This one is a great opportunity to jump straight into the engine room of a well-respected professional medical body doing meaningful work in the mental health space. If you’re available now or imminently, please get in touch
