The International Centre for Life is looking for a dynamic and ambitious communications professional to join its Marketing and Communications team. Reporting to the Communications Manager (that's me!), you will have a good understanding of communication channels and how to use them effectively to promote the organisation – particularly Life Science Centre and its wider public engagement programme. As part of a small team, you will be proactive, imaginative and able to work on your own initiative.  

The ideal candidate will be educated to degree level or equivalent, preferably with experience of working in a similar communications role or in the media. You will have the ability to develop and implement communication plans, write engaging copy and possess top-notch editing and proofreading skills.

You will have knowledge of using the social media channels used by Life (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) and preferably have experience of using such tools as part of a PR or marketing strategy. Ideally, you will be familiar with using website content management systems, platforms to create e-newsletters and PR software to distribute and evaluate media releases.

Core working hours are 9.00am-5.30pm Monday to Friday (5.00pm finish on Fridays). However, in order to truly understand our products and audiences, some evening and weekend work will be required. Salary: circa £18,000 per annum.

To apply, please complete the online application by Monday, 12 March 2018.
