Are you a talented communications professional passionate about making a difference in mental health and community services?
Now’s your chance to join our high-performing team delivering powerful communications to engage with a wide range of audiences on various platforms including the media, social media, and digital platforms.
We are looking for a proactive, dynamic communications professional, with an eye for a good story, and an appetite for creative content. You will be able to juggle competing priorities in a fast-paced but supportive environment.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
You will work with teams across the Trust and people with lived experience to source stories and develop communications projects that fit with our strategic priorities.
You’ll support the communications team to increase external engagement through producing high-quality engaging content and by developing creative ways of conveying important news and information.

You will also oversee the daily media monitoring for the Trust, a monthly media report and support with responding to reactive media enquiries.
