Responsibilities

• Working as part of the Counter Terrorism Policing communications network and reporting directly to one of our communication managers, you will support, and in some cases lead, priority communication programs and projects.
• You will directly contribute to our mission to protect the UK and the public from terrorism and other national security threats.
• This could be by crafting content for our social media channels that helps people know what to do if they are caught up in a terror attack; providing colleagues with vital information about a new system that will help them save lives; planning advertising campaigns that encourage people to report something that doesn’t feel right; planning and running training exercises so that we are as prepared as we can be if a terror attack happens.
• You will be part of a highly motivated communications team, with the chance to learn from senior colleagues and work on one of the most important issues to the public.
• You’ll also have the chance to put forward your own ideas for communications activity that supports wider organizational and operational aims.
• You will help to plan, manage, evaluate, and continually improve our communications.
• You’ll help us to make best use of our communication channels, supporting the team in telling the story of our work to keep communities safe from terrorism and state threats.

Requirements

• Ability to manage your own work against plans and milestones, ensuring deadlines are met, even when priorities change quickly.
• An interest in how communications activity is planned, delivered, and evaluated, and a drive to really understand our different audiences.
• Competent writer, with good attention to detail and grasp of grammar, including an ability to adhere to our house style and inclusive language guidelines.
• Willingness to work with a range of colleagues, not only in the communications pillar but across our national network and within our key partners, including government departments, and suppliers such as creative and digital agencies.
• A positive and curious approach to continual improvement – if you’re curious about the way things are done and why, and aren’t afraid to suggest better ways, your fresh perspectives will be encouraged and welcomed.
