The Home Office Communication Directorate delivers essential communications to people from all walks of life, every single day. Our work is never far from the front pages, making this a fast-paced and hugely exciting team to be a part of. The successful candidates will work across a broad range of policy and operational areas in the Home Office, with roles available spanning media and strategic campaigns.

There are a number of opportunities available:

For roles on our Newsdesk, you will be part of the department’s frontline, responding to calls from journalists and shaping news as it develops. You will be responsible for monitoring news and social media and protecting the Department’s reputation. You will provide Ministers and their Advisers with updates on news as it breaks; identify and rebut inaccurate reporting or criticism; and ensure the Department’s position is clearly reflected.

For roles on our proactive teams, you will develop integrated communications plans to promote the vital work being delivered across the Home Office.

Media roles will include producing plans to announce new policies or successes; providing media advice; drafting press releases on high profile issues; and facilitating interviews for Ministers.

Campaigns roles will see you deliver impactful communications led by insight and evaluation, including direct, paid-for, low- and no-cost marketing, partnerships, media and digital communications.
