There is lots to be proud of in local NHS services and this role is instrumental in helping keep our staff, service users and public up-to-date and involved in everything happening. You'll do this by producing an excellent standard of written work, creative social media and digital communications and supporting a co-production approach in everything we do.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential to be able to work across the organisation at all levels. You will often need to work with complex briefs and tight deadlines, so a close attention to detail is imperative.
