Job Details

BALPA is looking for a Communications Officer (Digital) to play a central role in delivering our digital transformation.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands digital platforms from the inside: someone who is confident supporting the build of a digital ecosystem and can think about UX and navigate a data integration.

You will be a part of a small but dedicated communications team, with all team members supporting tasks such as writing copy, producing social media content and elevating our profile with key stakeholder audiences. Reporting to the Director of Communications, this role also works closely with external suppliers.

What you'll be doing:

• Working closely with the Director of Communications and communications team to develop and implement BALPA’s strategic objectives around communications.
• Supporting the management and development of BALPA's digital platforms including the member forum, member portal, website and apps.
• Coordinating delivery of our Digital Platforms Project, working with SLT, the communications team and external suppliers.
• Supporting our transition away from current platforms, including data handling, document library provision and member communications.
• Applying UX principles, conducting research and using analytics to make sure our platforms work well for members.
• Developing and implementing our digital governance framework.
• Contributing to corporate communications and digital content across platforms, providing expertise to teams across the organisation.

We offer a collaborative, values-led working environment, a defined contribution pension scheme, 30 days' annual leave (rising to 32 after 5 years), and a hybrid working policy with up to 3 days working from home.
