Working closely with the Head of Digital Content and Internal Communications and the wider communications directorate, you will help identify content opportunities, develop communications assets and ensure BASC's key messages are delivered clearly and effectively to its audiences.

This is a varied role covering communications, content creation, digital marketing, social media, PR, media relations and campaign support.

The role

You will:

• Source, develop and produce engaging content across channels including press releases, blogs, podcasts, social media, newsletters, website updates, magazine content and other publications.
• Help manage and grow BASC's social media presence, including planning, publishing, engagement and performance monitoring.
• Support the delivery of PR campaigns, events and announcements.
• Assist in developing relationships with journalists, bloggers and media outlets, including coordinating interviews and media opportunities.
• Help ensure BASC, sustainable shooting and conservation are fairly and accurately represented across online and offline media.
• Support crisis communications activity where required.
• Monitor communications and media performance and contribute to reporting and continuous improvement.
• Work with regional teams to produce communications materials for game fairs, conferences, seminars and trade shows.
• Support the creation, publication and proofing of reports and other internal and external documents.

About you

Your background could be in communications, PR, content, digital marketing, social media or a broader marketing and communications role.

You will have a degree or professional qualification in communications, public relations or a related field, or equivalent experience, together with proven experience in a communications role and a strong portfolio of content and campaign delivery.

You should also have:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Confidence producing digital content assets such as basic graphics, short-form video and image editing.

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively across teams and with external partners.
• A creative, proactive approach and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
