We are looking for a Communications Executive to join us and play a key role in the execution of our communications strategy, supporting with the management of our press office, , consumer and trade PR, and internal communications.
This is an exciting role where you’ll be creating engaging content and generating ideas to help us tell our story through internal and external communications channels.

You’ll need to have excellent writing and editing skills, be highly organised, able to prioritise and work to tight deadlines, and remain calm under pressure.
This role will require you to be involved in a 24/7 on-call roster, and support in the response to incidents/crises which may require out of hours support.
