• To draft and edit clear, high-quality editorial content for a range of channels including eBulletins, press releases, media statements and social media.
• To help respond to questions from journalists, MPs and the parliamentary hub, working with colleagues to co-ordinate accurate and high-quality responses

• To ensure consistent read across between local and national campaigns, tailoring content that helps reinforce population health messages at a local level.
• To help produce key corporate publications (such as the Annual Report).
• To use our social media channels to widen reach, working with system partners to amplify each other’s content and celebrate achievements.  
• To help ensure content on our corporate websites and staff intranet is relevant and up to date working with page owners to draft clear and accessible web ready content.
• To make best use of digital communications to reach a wide range of audiences, including maximising the potential of paid for advertising. 
• To help us respond to emergency or unforeseen events, including developing and publishing accurate and high-quality content at pace.
• To help plan and deliver a range of internal and external events.
• To act as a first point of contact for email enquiries into the team, ensuring that we respond quickly and helpfully.
