Overview
Always earwigging? Well come and put your nosey-parker skills to good use…
Are you one of those people who always has an eye on the gossip? Do you make it your business to know what’s going on? And, more importantly, do you have the professional skills and creative flair to help make sure that your colleagues know what you know?
Well in that case you might be just who we’re looking for. We need a brilliant communicator to lead our internal communications and help our 400 plus team members stay informed and connected.

You’ll also need to be a true team player who can get stuck in and help with team-wide projects too. And please don’t apply if you’re not at ease working in the digital domain.
Your work will excite and inspire others and bring our passion for providing great homes to life for all our employees. You will need to be able to bring fresh and creative ideas into play to inform and engage and put our FACTS values at the heart of all we do and say.
You’ll need to enjoy juggling multiple projects, write like a pro, spot a typo from 100 metres and be comfortable experimenting with new tools and techniques.
To convince us that you’re the right person, you’ll need strong previous experience in internal communications in a multi-site organisation and tip-top skills. If you can also take a great photo or shoot semi-pro video you’ll also stand out for us.
