Internal Communications and Engagement Officer

About The Role

What does great internal communication feel like? For us, it helps people understand where we’re going, why it matters and how they can play their part.

As our Internal Communications and Engagement Officer, you’ll help bring Alzheimer’s Society’s strategy, priorities and impact to life for our employees and volunteers. You’ll create clear, engaging and accessible communications across a range of channels, helping people feel informed, involved and able to have their say.

Can you spot the story behind an important update and turn it into something people can understand and connect with?

You’ll be part of our Internal Communications and Engagement team, helping to deliver communications, campaigns, events and engagement activity across the organisation. It’s a varied role for someone who enjoys creating content, working with people and finding better ways to connect colleagues with our purpose.

How do you make sure people feel included when you communicate? You’ll help us create communications that are accessible, relevant and responsive to different audiences, making sure people have the information they need and opportunities to have their say.

You’ll help plan and deliver internal communications that support our priorities and keep employees and volunteers informed and engaged.

• Contribute to team planning, shared priorities and better ways of working.

You’ll be a clear and thoughtful communicator who enjoys working with people, can manage competing priorities and knows when to ask for support.

Are you someone who enjoys bringing people together around a shared goal? Do you value listening to different perspectives, learning from others and sharing your own ideas?

• The ability to build positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders across the organisation.
• A willingness to share knowledge and good practice, while being open to learning, feedback and new approaches.
• The ability to manage competing priorities, contribute to team planning and meet agreed deadlines.
