You will lead the development and delivery of the School’s internal communication plans, working across teams within the School.

You will maintain and develop digital internal communication channels (including email and Google sites). Through internal comms channels, you will ensure that staff are kept up to date on issues, including for example, decisions of the School Executive Board.
