Job content

We are proud to describe the way we operate as world-class in our approach to both our customers and our colleagues, which is why our approach to colleague engagement is so important to enable us to achieve an exceptional colleague experience. For this reason, we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Internal Communications and Engagement specialist to join our People team, taking a lead role in developing and delivering our internal communication programme to increase colleague engagement and establish clear links between our internal stories and employer brand.
Reporting to our People Director, you’ll play a crucial role working with a range of key stakeholders managing multiple workstreams across the engagement agenda as part of the broader People agenda.
