The Head of Communications has a key role in developing effective working relationships with a wide range of external and internal stakeholders, ensuring that the business of the Assembly is communicated effectively and in a manner which engages the widest possible audience.
Reporting to the Director of Parliamentary Services, you will lead on how the Assembly tells its story. You will do this by setting a clear direction for the Communications team. The role of Head of Communications is a high-pressure role which is demanding and challenging and is not ‘nine-to-five’. However, the role also provides an opportunity to work in a leading, high-profile organisation which is frequently in the ‘public eye’ locally, nationally and internationally.
You will have strategic input into delivering the Assembly Commission’s Corporate Strategy objectives, adding your in-depth expertise and experience to ensure the Assembly is playing the lead role in developing engaged citizens from across all communities in Northern Ireland, and that we are an informed, engaged and participative democracy.
