The Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) is seeking to recruit an experienced Communications and Digital Content Assistant to support the dissemination of the Centre's work. Co-funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and Welsh Government, WCPP bridges the gap between academia and policy makers/practitioners by generating, synthesising and mobilising evidence from research.
The Centre has more than 25 full-time staff from a range of backgrounds, including academia, the civil service, health service, local government, think tanks, and the voluntary sector. It is a member of the What Works Network and is recognised internationally for its pioneering approach to evidence use and knowledge mobilisation.
This role is an exciting opportunity to create and monitor content across a range of digital channels, focusing on updating and creating content for the Centre's website and digital newsletters. The successful candidate will support overarching WCPP team activities, developing and agreeing content for Welsh Government and public services reports and communications, helping to communicate important information to key partners.
To be successful in this role, you will need to be an excellent communicator with strong digital skills, particularly with content management systems and email campaign software. Interpreting complex, technical, and sometimes sensitive information, and communicating this to a wide range of audiences, will be fundamental to your work.
The post is full-time (35 hours per week) and a fixed term appointment from November 2026 to 31st March 2028. We welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We are particularly seeking applications from candidates from backgrounds that are underrepresented at the University, including people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.
We are looking for a team player who will work with colleagues to provide a great service to WCPP and our key stakeholders. You don’t need to have worked for a university before; this is an opportunity to show your potential and start or continue your career at Cardiff University. This role may be an opportunity for you to build on your experience from working in a previous administrative role or environment with particular interest in digital communications, showing your transferable skills and aptitude to be successful in the role.
You should be enthusiastic about developing your knowledge and skills to become a valued member of the team.
