This is an exciting opportunity to have creative input and be involved in working on high profile, large scale and multimillion-pound government campaigns!

We will support you to excel in your new role, and will work with you to identify suitable relevant training, such as courses with CIM/CIPR.

• Delivering behaviour change and awareness raising paid for and no cost communications campaigns.
• Responsibility for supporting the planning, development, delivery, and evaluation of paid campaigns along with low-cost and no-cost activity.
• Supporting campaign planning and delivery across above and below the line channels including broadcast (e.g. radio, video on demand), PR, digital and social media platforms, and brand and media partnerships.
• Supporting the running of campaign social channels, ensuring a strategic and creative approach to engaging target audiences and key stakeholders.
• Working collaboratively with external commercial agencies to deliver high quality, cost effective creative content to agreed timescales and budget, and to agree and implement multi-channel media plans.
