Are you curious and driven, with a passion for championing our work and impact, while promoting and advocating for the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Somerset? We’re seeking two Communications and Engagement Officers – one embedded within our Development team and one within our Volunteering team.
Each role will lead on their department’s marketing and communications activity, while working collaboratively with their counterparts in other departments to ensure a joined-up and consistent approach. The role will involve supporting digital and in-person events, creating promotional content and producing high-quality and engaging posts for advertising events and post-event content.
It will also involve acting as a proactive and trusted media lead for Spark Somerset, creatively shaping department-relevant coverage by building strong media relationships, managing news opportunities and conducting interviews where required.
You’ll bring experience of events, marketing and communications, as well as a creative mindset, and a lateral way of thinking and problem solving. You’ll also bring excellent oral and written presentation and communication skills – which are easily understood and relevant to a range of audiences – and an ability to craft content across a variety of media.
In return, we offer flexible, hybrid working options.
