We are looking for an inspiring storyteller, digital innovator and cross-organisation relationship builder. This role forms part of an award winning, collaborative Internal Communications and Engagement team that is focused on creating an inspiring workplace through communications with a dotted line into our Volunteering team.

This role is focused on shaping the direction of travel for our amazing volunteering community and the managers that support them. It will be built on strong foundations, but it will involve some initial discovery off the back of our recent engagement survey to build communications for the future that have the greatest impact for our volunteers.

It’s a varied role – from storytelling and innovation through to channel management and events. Building strong, trusted relationships across the organisation is an essential skill to help build a connection to cause. It will make sure volunteers are supported as they gift their time, have what they need to experience the impact of their work and really getting to understand the organisation and the most effective ways to communicate. Stimulating conversations, championing colleague voice and creating a culture of open and transparent communication are all part of this role.

About you

You’ll be a real team player with a curiosity to understand our Society, how our volunteers communicate and like to be communicated with. You’ll be driven and keen to understand the impact of the communications that you are sharing and a key enabler of fostering inspiring storytelling across our volunteering community, while sharing the stories of our volunteers with staff too.

You’ll be someone whose approach is rooted in thinking through ‘how can we iterate this to make it better?’, as well as helping to shape a culture of belonging and strive to make our communications as inclusive as they can be.

You’ll be excited by the opportunity of exploring new ways to communicate and engage and sit within a wider Internal Communications and Engagement team who know the power of great communications to effect impactful outcomes for those living with dementia.

You’ll have the opportunity and time to develop ideas when leading on key projects and campaigns throughout the year, working in collaboration with our volunteering team as well as other teams across the organisation.
