NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We are looking for an experienced communications and engagement professional to join our team at NHS Tayside to provide maternity cover for a 23-month period as we support the post COVID-19 recovery and redesign of health and care services across the region. You will play a key role in our team, taking responsibility for specific projects and delivering communications to our 14,000 members of staff and to all our external stakeholders, including our communities, our partners and the media. We’re also looking for someone who can help create innovative engagement opportunities for all our stakeholders, both internal and external.
Experience in communications, public relations, media or marketing – ideally supported by a relevant professional qualification and experience of public/community engagement – is essential. Alongside our print materials, media releases and statements, digital communications are particularly important to us. The post holder will be responsible, as part of a team, for the day-to-day content and management of a wide range of digital channels and platforms, including our website, intranet and social media platforms.
If you have exceptional interpersonal personal skills and are resilient, organised, and comfortable working with a wide range of people we would love to hear from you.
NHS experience would be a benefit but is not essential. We need someone who can pick up projects quickly, has a creative approach to supporting successful communications campaigns, is familiar with good practice stakeholder engagement and is experienced in producing content and managing digital platforms.
The post may require travel across NHS Tayside.
