The Corporate Communications department is responsible for a variety of internal and external communications including patient, staff and corporate publications; maintaining, developing and updating the Trust website, intranet, social media platforms; handling media enquiries and providing information for MPs and Ministers.

Main duties of the job

This role will include the general administration of key systems including contact databases and photo library, support for event coordination, social media scheduling, inbox management, updating template reports on team activities and raising requisitions, amongst other administrative duties.  The role will also support joint projects between the communications team and the staff experience team, such as staff awards and conferences.

Working for our organisation

We employ 3,500 staff in 63 locations and serve a population of 2,600,000 in Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, and Tees over 3230 square miles.

Many people think the job of the ambulance service is to collect patients and take them to hospital, but we do much more!

Paramedic skills have developed hugely in recent years, meaning we carry out more treatment at the scene and en-route to hospital.

We have a dedicated clinical assessment service that allows us to provide patients with the most appropriate care from the beginning of the patient journey.

We have a specialised branch of the Trust called HART which deal with explosions or terrorist attacks.

Ultimately patients are the heart of everything that we do to support our mission of "safe, effective and responsive care for all".

We value and respect the diversity employees bring to our workplace. We recruit a workforce that reflects the community we serve, and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. To ensure we deliver on our aims in relation to diversity and inclusion we assess ourselves against a range of frameworks. We are ENEI Gold employer, Disability Confident Leader, Dyslexia Smart Award employer, Dementia Friendly, and part of Mind Blue Light programme and the Race at Work Charter from the Princes Responsible Business Network and are achieving across all objectives in NHS Equality Delivery System.
