- Carrying our user research to inform the development of our communications channels, making sure they reach the right people, in a style that caters for different needs. Please note: this role will be part of the internal communications team, but the role holder will also be responsible for the delivery of external communications relating to transformation. Sitting as part of the communications service, this is a full-time position (36 hours per week), based in central Croydon under the council's hybrid working policy.
The role will work closely with our HR, recruitment and workforce development teams.

Experience managing communications campaigns and plans for large projects is a must. An understanding of employment law and experience running large staff engagement campaigns is desirable. Internal communications experience, preferably in the local government sector, is essential.
