We have an exciting opportunity available to join the Internal Communications team. We're looking for someone with experience of working in communication, that has a passion for people and enjoys a varied, fast-paced role.
We’re looking for someone to work across Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays but we are open to requests for flexible working across those days.
As one of our Internal Communications Officers and half of a job-share, you’ll be responsible for delivering informative and inspiring communications to RCN Group staff using a variety of channels and approaches.
You will be responsible for the duties within the attached job description and should meet the criteria as outlined in the person specification.
To join us you’ll need experience of writing creatively and be adept at managing multiple messages. You’ll be able to plan and measure your approach for projects and be keen to make a difference for RCN employees.
You'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do.
As this post is a job share, you’ll need to have the ability to work flexibly and have exceptional organisation and time management skills.
To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
