Trosolwg o'r swydd

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Communications team at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

You will be a compassionate, accountable individual who treats all colleagues, patients and service users with respect and seeks to deliver excellence in their role. You will share the Trust values and be committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Effective communication is a vital part of providing the best possible care to children and their families. For example:

  • It allows staff to understand the organisation they work for and play a full role in delivering the strategic objectives. It also helps to recruit the best possible employees.
  • It helps to build reputation with partners, the community, the media and the people we serve.
  • It helps the Trust run more smoothly by both informing and engaging people.
  • It helps the Trust to meet its objectives, with tangible measurable actions.

As a Communications Officer, you would provide general support to this work and produce the vital content – written materials, graphics, photography and video - for both internal and external audiences.
