It’s a role for someone who is organised, communicative and happy to be adaptable.

• Copywriting for multiple platforms, such as news features, website content and email marketing
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Good general digital skills, such as experience of updating website content (ideally in Drupal) and reporting on successes 
• Managing creative projects; such as working with our Videographers to support scripts and location shoots for short video, or working with third parties on sponsored content deadlines
