Do you have the ambition to be at the heart of the largest police force in the country, telling the stories that matter most to local communities?  We are looking for creative, first-class communicators who want to take their career to the next level as part of a significant expansion in how we tell our story to those who matter most.
We are recruiting for 12 Communications officers who will be responsible for getting under the skin of our frontline policing operations, understanding how our work in every borough is different and telling the story of what we are doing to keep people safe in a way that is targeted and easy to understand.
This is not like other communication roles. One day you may be working up campaign strategies alongside local stakeholders on how we are using the latest technology to tackle crime. The next you may be at the forefront of handling communications around a critical incident. Or the next day you will be working behind the scenes with officers to bring to life the extraordinary stories that go on every day in the Met.
One of your key tasks will be utilising and maximising the potential for our brand new communication platform, Met Engage, and how you will be able to use it to its full potential to deliver meaningful change.
This is a multi-disciplinary role, and a good next step for someone who has had around two years of communications experience. Your proofreading and copywriting skills must be excellent, with a strong understanding of digital and online communication tools. At the same time you will be expected to create, deliver and evaluate communication campaigns, so experience in these disciplines is also a necessity.
While we are looking for individuals who have determination and drive to push things forwards, you will work alongside your peers in the Frontline Communication Network and be able to rely on the support, guidance and training from an award-winning Communication & Engagement team.

About you:
You are a communications specialist who is keen and eager to innovate. You can quickly assess a dry technical briefing and find the salient point that matters most, or you can dig out a good news story from teams who see the extraordinary as just another Tuesday.
