Crynodeb
The post holder will contribute to the successful overall performance of the London Ambulance Service as the first port of call for media enquiries as part of the press desk function. The post holder will be able to be persuasive and motivational and have effective negotiating skills in balancing competing complex media bids and sensitive corporate reputational media enquiries. These highly complex media enquiries will require the post holder to inform and explain difficult reputational and sensitive corporate issues and incidents. Receiving calls from patients, family members and other members of the public will require the post holder to demonstrate high levels of empathy. As well as reactive media handling the Media and Campaigns Officer will play a key role in proactive media work and campaigns aligned with the Services corporate objectives, including pitching stories directly to journalists. The post holder will participate in the out-of-hours on-call rota for media calls outside normal working hours. This will require them to work independently - making judgement calls on difficult and sometimes highly complex and sensitive issues themselves - and be confident in briefing colleagues as appropriate. This will include developing and issuing communications output for large incidents overnight and on weekends. While on call they may need to speak to ambulance crews at the scene of large incidents and absorb complex information. They will be confident in sharing relevant information to journalists, without breaching consent and confidentiality policies. The post holder may also be sent to the scene of a major incident to provide communications support. The post holder will help identify opportunities and develop ideas for stories and social media content to promote the work of the Service and its staff through traditional and digital channels. This might include joining ambulance crews on ride outs and call handlers in the control rooms to source material to support the Services communications goals. The post holder will need to take a corporate view and work flexibly to support the whole of the communications team and to deliver its objectives. They will confidently challenge and rebut inaccurate media articles, manage tight deadlines as part of a busy press office, manage their own workload accordingly and work independently.
