Working for #TeamNP
Our purpose at Team NP is simple: to keep people safe and to fight crime. But it takes more than officers alone to do the job – and that’s where our 2,000-strong team of police staff and 200 volunteers come in.
As one of the largest police forces in England we have a huge variety of departments and specialisms offering you endless opportunities. From mentoring and coaching schemes and online soft skills courses to leadership development programmes; we’ll give you the support, training and time to carve out the career you always wanted.
The role
Here at Northumbria Police, we think our region is amazing! It takes a great deal of people from different backgrounds, with diverse skills and experience to serve our force area effectively, think you have what it takes to help us make a difference? This could be the perfect time for you to join us in our Communication and Engagement Department as a Media and Communications Adviser.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Media and Communications Adviser to join our team.
Providing a communications service to one of the largest police forces in the country, you’ll relish the opportunity to work in a fast-paced and diverse environment.
You’ll enhance the trust and confidence in Northumbria Police, by producing high quality content across a range of platforms.
One day, you could be joining officers as they tackle crime – and the next you could be supporting a victim of crime tell their story.
From supporting a high-profile investigation to showcasing the amazing work of our officers, staff and volunteers – you’ll be on the front line of delivering communications which make a real difference to the fantastic communities we are privileged to serve.
If you think you have what it takes to help us make that difference, we want to hear from you?
What you’ll do
We are looking for a truly proactive multimedia adviser.
You will not only be responding to media enquiries but also producing engaging content for a range of platforms.
You will have the confidence to advise and influence senior officers about the best course of action when dealing with communications activities.
Working as part of a team and using your own initiative, you will offer advice and support the delivery of proactive and reactive communications, ensuring policing matters are effectively communicated in an accurate and timely manner.
Develop, design, plan and monitor this content as part of communications activity to drive engagement, making decisions over the best platforms for delivery.
By building strong internal relationships you’ll generate a range of positive creative content for media organisations and force external channels. You will also establish strong relationships with external stakeholders.
Effectively handle media enquiries from local, regional and national outlets to maintain and enhance public confidence.
You’ll organise and run media interviews, press conferences/briefings and co-ordinate the media on operational activities providing support to officers/staff.
Lead, create and implement communications plans and tactics for serious crime investigations and major/critical incidents. Advising and influencing senior leaders over the best course of action to take and developing key messaging.

What you’ll bring
Previous experience of delivering communication activity and plans, able to create creative and engaging content for a range of channels including digital.
You’ll have an understanding and working knowledge of media law and platforms of external engagement, social networks and the ability to adapt materials for each.
Excellent communication skills - written, oral, presentational and interpersonal. Ensuring that all communications are clear and concise.
Excellent computer literacy and IT skills and the ability to learn new IT systems.
Resilient and able to remain calm while under pressure and working in a fast-paced environment.
You will be able to work as part of a team as well as on your own, prioritising your workload when required.
The successful candidate must be flexible to meet the role demands: Although the role is blended with working from home, you will be required to travel around the Force area and be able to work flexible hours. There is also a requirement to work unsocial hours, including weekends, on-call and out of hours duties – these are naturally compensated by additional payment.
Due to the requirement to work flexibly, unsocial hours and personal safety for lone working; public transport may not be available or suitable at these times. For this reason a full UK driving licence is considered essential.
