Stories and Communications Manager

Introduction

37.5 Hours per week

£41,000 to £43,000 per annum depending on experience

Permanent

“See every day the impact your exceptional communications can make – putting patients and their families at the heart of our story, inspiring support, and driving understanding of the vital need for fairly funded end-of-life care.”

Make your work count! Could you be our next Stories and Communications Manager? 

If you want to feel personal fulfilment from a career with real meaning, consider Rowcroft Hospice. We offer purposeful work in a uniquely progressive environment.

What you’ll bring  

You will be an exceptional storyteller with significant experience in communications, PR, journalism or content creation.

To be successful in this role you will need:

• Outstanding writing, editing and storytelling skills.
• Experience creating content across digital, print and media channels.
• Strong understanding of communications planning, audience engagement and brand management.
• Experience producing video and multimedia content.
• Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to communicate complex or sensitive information with empathy, tact and professionalism.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Confidence working collaboratively across teams and influencing colleagues at all levels.
• Personal resilience, emotional maturity and sound professional judgement.

You will be driven by our cause and motivated by the opportunity to help more people support Rowcroft and understand the importance of hospice care.

No two days are ever the same. One day you might be gathering a patient story, the next planning a fundraising campaign, writing for Hospice Matters or supporting senior colleagues with a media enquiry. 

What’s in it for you? 

You will be supported and encouraged to innovate and to try new things. Our scope of work and our confident organisational vision creates opportunities for progress and development. Most importantly, you'll join a team of talented, passionate and supportive colleagues who care deeply about what they do and the people they do it for.

You will see the impact of your work every day and know that your skills are helping local families during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

As a manager you will be expected and supported to take part in the Leadership and Management training programme offered by Rowcroft.
