The Internal Communications Manager is a pivotal role at the College as you will help develop and shape the College’s internal communication channels to drive information sharing and engagement with the College Strategy and Values for staff.

Reporting directly to the Executive Director for People and Culture, you will be responsible for developing and implementing the employee internal communications plan to inspire, inform and engage employees with clear, consistent messages that align with the College’s mission, values and goals.

As Internal Communications Manager, you will review and develop processes and communication channels and develop the annual plan for employee communications using innovative and creative approaches to engage and support. You will tailor communications for different operational areas, ensuring messages land effectively and in a compelling and timely format.

You will work with the Executive team to create a regular drumbeat of key internal organisational communications, identifying areas for improvement and adapting the approach where necessary, whilst collaborating with the Social Media Officer and the Creative Content & Marketing Team to ensure our internal tone of voice is aligned with how we communicate externally with members.

You will also work closely with the People & Culture Division to support on the delivery of our People & Culture Strategy, helping to build our employer brand and using LinkedIn and other social media to raise the College’s profile as an employer of choice.

With a foundation degree in a communication or marketing area and with a qualification or certification from a relevant body such as CIPR, you will have a proven track record in internal communications and have experience of developing and implementing successful communication strategies and campaigns to reach diverse audiences.

You should have significant experience of working closely with senior leaders and have a strong background in delivering internal communications within a mid-to-large organisation. Your excellent interpersonal and verbal communication abilities will ensure you are capable of engaging with diverse audiences including senior management.
