We are looking for a Communications Officer to support and play a crucial role in a recently formed team within Islington Borough Council.
In 2022 Islington was amongst a small number of Councils that won, via a national grant application process to the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), funding to take part in a Health Determinant Research Collaboration (HDRC). After an initial year of developing plans around the initial bid the NIHR confirmed funding of over £5millon to the council from October 2023 to September 2028 for their work. The team now named Evidence Islington are now looking to complete the team with the recruitment of a Communications expert that can bring a flair for getting noticed.
Considerable work was done in the development year, and this has continued over the last 12 months as a fully-fledged HDRC to lay the way for creating a more research confident culture within the Council and starting to involve residents and local people in designing a programme to move forward with. The person we need will be tasked with carrying this forward and build upon this by developing:
To fulfil these requirements, your comms work experience should be able to demonstrate that your work is effective, data driven, targeted and culturally competent. A team player with a knack for understanding how to cut through the noise and get noticed.
You’ll come with some experience of delivering excellent communications and an understanding of the challenges facing councils and working in a political environment.
You'll join a new team, the role is part time (0.6FTE / 3 days a week) and will be hybrid working with the office base at 222 Upper Street, Islington – which has great transport links bus, train and underground are all close by.
