About us

Communications Adviser

We have a great opportunity for a Communications Adviser to join our small Communications and Engagement team, helping our organisation ensure people know about privacy, their rights, and responsibilities.

You’ll be a motivated self-starter with a ‘make it work’ attitude. You’ll be a keen reader and good writer and understand how people interact with different communications channels. We’re the regulator but that doesn’t mean we’re boring – just that you need to have a passion for ensuring corporate content is clear and accessible to a wide audience by being a champion of plain English.

Part of this mahi is responsibility for our website. That means uploading content in a SilverStripe CMS (WYSISYG editor), as well as making practical decisions like consolidating and editing information, in conjunction with subject matter experts, to be more readable. You need to be creative but also methodical to ensure images and content are saved in the correct folders and that we keep on top of the filing. You’ll naturally be organised.

You’ll also be responsible for our fortnightly internal newsletter, which means using Mailchimp and Canva as part of the job. You’ll have an eye for design and a bent for storytelling and be able to draw out interesting content.

We’re a small team (three total) who are agile and friendly. We’re looking for a teammate who is a solid worker, who is enthusiastic and self-motivated and open to learning. What’s special about this role is that you’ll join two very experienced communications practitioners who can teach you everything you ever wanted to know about the art of comms. We’d like you to teach us too.
