Why this could be a great role for you…

You’ll be part of a busy Engagement directorate, ensuring our communications are clear and concise, and in line with our strategic aims and ambitions.

In particular, you’ll work closely with colleagues across Engagement to support the consistent development and coordination of narratives and messages across our strategic communications campaigns.

Your health and wellbeing are important to us and are supported through generous annual leave (starting at 27 days and rising with service to 32.5 days, plus 8 Bank Holidays), a cycle to work scheme, discounted gym vouchers and access to a free employee assistance service 24 hours a day. We also understand the importance of financial health and offer membership of the NHS pension scheme, contributing about 14% of basic salary. You will also be able to access discounts to supermarkets, high street stores, electronics, fleet cars, plus we also have an internal reward scheme which could see you earn yourself a voucher or two! All of our Homeworkers are also kitted out with everything they need to comfortably work from home.

We want to support you to succeed and be your very best, with opportunities for training and development along with the support of experienced managers and mentors.

We want to make working for CQC a great experience for everyone, and to role model a diverse and representative culture. To support an inclusive environment where colleagues feel empowered to bring their whole self to work, we support a variety of staff networks, including the Race Equality Network, LGBT+ Equality Network, Carers Equality Network, Disability Equality Network and Gender Equality network.

What you will bring…

You’ll be someone with experience of writing and editing content in a busy and wide-ranging communications environment. You’ll have strong analytical skills, able to create clear core narratives and key messages from complex information. You’ll have strong influencing skills to ensure that these messages are consistently applied across a range of channels and audiences. You’ll have excellent organisational and relationship building skills, a superb eye for detail, and a clear focus on delivery.
