The Head of Internal Communications will play a central role within the newly established NCS PR and Communications Team which comprises PR, Corporate Communications, Internal Communications, Public Affairs and NCS Patrons/Ambassadors. Helping to shape and deliver the corporate communications strategy and build the internal communications capability, this individual will have the drive, experience and insights to fully support NCS as it moves from being a Community Interest Company to a Royal Charter Body.

The successful candidate will report to the Director of PR and Communications and work closely with the Head of PR and Corporate Communications to align internal and external messaging as well as with our People team in the London-based NCS Trust office. You will be responsible for delivering a proactive internal communications strategy and producing best-in-class campaigns to build understanding and appreciation of NCS amongst key stakeholder groups, including employees of both NCS Trust and its wider network of regional and local delivery partners.

You will bring your extensive experience of managing an in-house internal communications function including responsibility for delivering both traditional and non-traditional communications and feel confident working independently at a senior level. You will liaise closely with all areas of the organisation to understand the often complex internal communications requirements and determine the most appropriate ways of communicating about them in a timely and impactful way.
