Internal Communications Officer Negotiable location, 17.5 hours per week (job share), permanent contract Salary range: £35,124 - £39,678 per annum (pro rata) plus London weighting of £4,872 per annum (pro rata and if applicable) Ideally we're looking for someone to work across Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays but we are open to requests for flexible working across those days.

What an incredible time this is to work for the Royal College of Nursing.

A trade union and professional body with a membership of over 500,000 nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students; we support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them.

We exist to make a positive difference - to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care.

Our employees are drawn from many walks of life and united in their passion for the nursing profession. We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.

As one of our Internal Communications Officers, you'll use your positive attitude and internal communication expertise to deliver a programme of activities to engage RCN staff across the UK.

You'll get involved in a vast range of internal activities, including writing creative stories to inform and inspire your colleagues, delivering intranet author training and supporting the delivery and success of staff events.

We'll look to you to champion the use of our intranet, as well as to support and advise staff across the UK in creating engaging communication plans, support the delivery of internal programmes, and suggest new ideas to help maintain and increase employee engagement.

This role is a great way to develop your potential as an internal communicator and build your knowledge of our work, all while enabling us to support the UK's vital nursing workforce.

The person
To join us you'll need experience of writing creatively and the ability to measure your impact. Some experience of communications planning and customer service is also desirable. Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do.

As this post is a job share, you'll need to have the ability to work flexibly and have exceptional organisation and time management skills.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything's possible. What we offer you We expect you to look after your customers. And we expect you to be rewarded for it.

We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme.

We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave packages.

*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale.

We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work, one size doesn't fit all.

We also know that for our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance.

Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver - whether that's to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles.

At the RCN it's unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
