We have an exciting opportunity to join the team as maternity cover, celebrating mental health, dementia, learning disability and autism services in Lincolnshire.

Main duties of the job

The role is instrumental in keeping colleagues, service uses and the public up-to-date with all of the great things happening within the Trust. Of course you’ll have an excellent standard of written work, be used to liaising closely and working proactively with local media and key stakeholders, along with experience of writing and delivering communications project plans.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential too, as is the ability to work across the organisation and wider Lincolnshire health and care system at all levels – bringing colleagues with you and helping them to share more of the good work they do every single day. You’ll need to develop and help lead on complex projects with tight deadlines, so a close attention to detail is also imperative.

No two days are ever the same in the NHS so being able to adapt is key – you’ll need to be good at prioritising as well as supporting and managing a close-knit team of multi-talented communication professionals – being the best role model you can be.
