Your new role
Collaborate with the Marketing and Communications Manager to drive engaging internal communications, events, and initiatives. Lead the launch of a new intranet system, motivate staff, and align strategic messaging.
- Craft an Inspiring Communications Plan:
- Collaborate with the Marketing and Communications Manager to design a robust internal communications strategy. This plan should ignite enthusiasm amongst staff, executives, and trustees.

- Use it as a launchpad for other internal communications initiatives.
- Alignment with the EVP:
- Work closely with Executives and Senior Leadership to ensure consistent messaging across the organisation.
- Imagine their vision flowing seamlessly through every communication channel.

- Encourage staff to refer friends by making it rewarding and fun.

- Gather heart-warming stories - employee testimonials, moments of triumph, and acts of kindness.
- Leverage platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed to showcase our positive workplace culture.
- Intranet Launch and Radio Waves:
The new intranet is more than a portal - it's a community square. Populate it with engaging content, interactive forums, and employee spotlights.
- Messages with Impact:
- Translate corporate jargon into relatable messages. Use storytelling, humour, and visuals to convey organisational values.
- Make every communication count - whether it's a policy update or a shout-out to an outstanding team.
- Daily Hustle:
- Be the conductor of the internal communications orchestra. Coordinate emails, videos, webinars, and town halls.
- Evaluate what's working and adjust the notes accordingly.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Break down silos. Engage stakeholders from HR, Operations, and Finance. Their insights enrich the symphony of communication.
- Imagine the CFO sharing financial updates in a catchy rap (okay, maybe not a rap).
- Event Maestro:
- Events aren't just dates on a calendar - they're crescendos. Plan celebrations, recognition ceremonies, and team-building extravaganzas.
- Picture confetti cannons and standing ovations.
- Marketing Team Jedi Training:
- Equip the marketing team with lightsabers - okay, maybe not lightsabers, but definitely with knowledge. Arrange workshops, webinars, and skill-building sessions.
- May the marketing force be with them!
- Digital Adventures:
- Partner with the Digital Marketing Officer. Dive into video content - interviews, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and virtual tours.
- Webinars? More like webi-fun!
- Virtual Coffee Chats:
- Organise monthly catch-ups. Imagine sipping digital lattes while discussing wins, challenges, and cat memes.
- Because even virtual coffee has caffeine vibes.
