Responsibilities

• Uncover stories that need to be told:
  Working across the UK business, you'll dig deep to find hidden gems — the stories that are just waiting to be shared to elevate our brand in the market. Whether it's a team member's unique career journey, our student's success, or a behind‑the‑scenes look at our company culture, you'll bring these stories to the forefront, sharing them with both our internal team and the wider world.

You'll partner with the Global Communications team to develop guidelines, governance frameworks, templates and best practices to streamline communication efforts and uphold our brand standards.
• Elevate change communications:
  You'll lead communication efforts during times of change, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and engaged. Crafting clear and compelling messages that explain the reasons for change, the benefits and the impact on various audiences, your role will be crucial in managing the narrative and supporting a smooth transition.

  Plan and execute events that promote our brand and engage our audience. From employee webinars to recruitment outreach programs, you'll ensure every event is well‑organised and impactful. Your attention to detail and organisational skills will be key to our success.
