Crynodeb
We’re looking for an experienced, driven and creative Senior Communications Officer to join our small, friendly integrated team where you’ll get the chance to build your skills across all areas of DCMS work.
We work closely with Ministers, private offices, policy teams and special advisors to identify proactive media opportunities for Ministers and to promote the department’s work, plan media events and manage reactive media enquiries. We also work with our sectors to ensure we provide stakeholder and third-party support for specific announcements.
This is a hugely rewarding role which will provide a fascinating challenge for the right candidate.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has a very exciting opportunity for a highly skilled Senior Communications Officer in one of the most interesting, varied and fast-paced departments in Whitehall.
We’re looking for an experienced, talented and creative communications professional to join our friendly and integrated news team. From supporting the establishment of an Independent Football Regulator, to delivering a new National Youth Strategy, or making the UK the safest place in the world to gamble, you will be part of a desk devising and delivering creative communications on sport, gambling, civil society and youth policy.
The DCMS Communications Directorate supports a wide range of industries and has the power to make a huge difference to people’s lives. We played an important role in helping our world-class sport, arts, culture and tourism sectors get back on their feet after the COVID-19 pandemic. We help our sectors maximise their potential, and provide British citizens with opportunities to participate in them.
In the past couple of years we have delivered the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, and the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. This year we are managing the programme for VE and VJ Day and the Covid-19 Day of Reflection. On top of that there are important domestic policies which we are driving forward, such as unlocking more economic growth and jobs in our world-class creative industries.
You will play an important role in shaping how the public understands and interacts with DCMS policy areas. You will have an excellent news sense, proven experience of working in a busy communications environment and first-rate media handling and digital skills.
You will have strong leadership skills, and the ability to foster and maintain good relations with a wide range of contacts, from journalists and industry to ministers, senior policy officials and special advisers.
You will know how to get our messages out through the media, engage our audiences through digital content and develop exciting campaigns which feed into the government’s Plan for Change, including the aim for our sectors to be positioned at the heart of economic growth and breaking down barriers to opportunity.
