Some communications roles are about keeping stakeholders informed. Others help shape how significant programmes are understood, implemented and experienced.

We’re partnering with a public sector organisation embarking on a major new programme of work. As the programme enters a critical establishment and delivery phase, an experienced Communications Advisor is sought to help bring clarity, consistency and confidence to a complex and highly important piece of work.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to join a programme at the beginning and influence how it is communicated as it evolves.

Working alongside programme leadership, communications specialists and subject matter experts, you’ll develop communication approaches, create high-quality content and provide trusted advice on matters that often require careful judgement, political awareness and a strong stakeholder focus. 

You’ll play a key role in ensuring information is clear, accurate and accessible for diverse audiences while contributing to the successful delivery of a nationally important initiative. 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and delivering communication and engagement plans
• Creating communications content across a variety of channels and formats
• Turning technical, operational and policy information into practical and engaging messaging
• Supporting stakeholder communications and engagement activity
• Providing advice on sensitive or high-profile issues
• Managing communication schedules, content libraries and key programme resources
• Monitoring feedback and emerging issues, using insights to continuously improve communications activity.

About You

You’ll be a confident Communications Advisor who enjoys working in complex environments and can bring structure and clarity to busy programmes.

You’ll likely bring:

• Experience in communications advisory, engagement or stakeholder communications roles
• Exceptional writing and editing skills
• Strong planning and organisational capability
• Experience working across multiple priorities and deadlines
• The ability to build credibility with a broad range of stakeholders
• Excellent judgement, discretion and attention to detail
• Experience within the public sector or other complex environments would be highly valued.

Why This Role?

Beyond the opportunity to work on meaningful public sector outcomes, you’ll be joining a programme during its establishment phase and helping shape how it grows and succeeds.

• New programme with significant visibility and purpose
• Opportunity to influence and build communication frameworks from the ground up
• Collaborative and supportive team environment
• Flexible engagement options – fixed-term employee or contractor
• Immediate start preferred
• Engagement running through to 30 June 2027
