Full Job Description
Are you an experienced communications professional, able to create and deliver effective communications strategies and campaigns? Can you inform and deliver a collaborative approach to communications that raises the profile and reputation of organisations? Can you confidently use digital media, including the development of web content, design work for products and building and maintaining social media profiles with high quality content in an organisational context?
Are you able to develop excellent working relationships and partnerships? Are you passionate about supporting the promotion of world-leading collaborative climate action?
The climate crisis is the most significant challenge the world faces. The science is clear, and at the University of Leeds we are highly focused on impact - it is our most important contribution to make a positive difference in the world. As a research-intensive university, we are perfectly placed to help deliver unparalleled collaboration at scale across institutions and nations. Our strategy focuses on combining our global outlook with a keen awareness of the importance of local, regional and national impact. Our Climate Plan is at the heart of what we are doing to support climate change mitigation and adaptation, locally and globally, while also contributing to a healthier, greener and fairer place to live, work and study.
The Leeds Climate Commission was the first of its kind, launched at an event with Lord Debden in 2017. The Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission is the largest of its kind and was launched in 2021. The Climate Commissions were created to catalyse evidence-based, collaborative action to address these crises by linking the global outlook and big-picture science to on-the-ground impact at a local, regional and national scale. Eight and four years on respectively, these collaborations are increasingly important, having tangible positive impacts and changing our futures for the better.
We are seeking a talented, motivated and experienced Communications Officer to come and join the Climate Commissions Team at the University of Leeds, working as part of a dynamic team of climate-focused professional services staff (c.11 FTE). Working to the Communications Manager, you will be one of two Communications Officers and support all aspects of communications for both the Leeds and the Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commissions.
You will have a pivotal role in leading our social media campaigns and monitoring our social media accounts and designing and producing graphics, animations and short videos as well as in-house publications. You will also be responsible for maintaining, curating and originating content for our Commissions websites, and producing our regular newsletters. Your work will include: helping to develop (design work specifically) and communicate a range of core communications products (reports, papers, policy briefs); shaping and informing communications strategies; event organisation supporting the communications requirements of the Commissions' projects, and ensuring our messages are promoted accurately and clearly.
You will have an important role in developing and managing our reputations with partners and the public and will lead the delivery of promotional activities for projects to key audiences, both internally and externally. Bringing creative flair, energy and expertise, you will support the development of materials and identify and activate channels for effective communication and promotion with a wide range of audiences, from the general public and activated communities to the private and public sectors.
