This ensures a varied and professional digital presence that reflects the importance and impact of committee work.

Alongside content creation, there is a strong emphasis on collaboration and support. The role involves advising committee staff on content design and accessibility, and helping them build confidence in using digital tools, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and high standards across the organisation.

- Experience of evaluating the reach and impact of digital content, including understanding analytics and gathering insight from data as well as best practice to make recommendations.

- Excellent stakeholder management skills and experience of working inclusively with colleagues and stakeholders of all levels, to ensure collaboration and shared objectives are negotiated and met.

- Experience of sourcing relevant audio-visual material to support online content and the ability to produce and edit basic audio-visual content including graphics and short videos.

- Sound decision-making skills with experience of effectively managing and prioritising multiple work streams and the ability to work proactively and independently to identify and resolve problems with minimal supervision.
