Communication and Policy Manager

Haberdashers' Aske's Federation Trust are offering a unique opportunity for someone with experience of using communication to achieve organisational goals. Experience relevant to the policy aspect of the role is also required. This experience may come from a range of different backgrounds. For example, working in the policy or legal function of an organisation, or working in the administrative functions of a school, college or university. Experience of the education sector is desirable but not essential. 

Improving the effectiveness of our internal and external communications is a key priority of our five-year strategy. This role is critical to the success of that goal. The focus of our strategy is on using communication as a means to delivering our overall aims. For that reason this post brings together responsibilities for communication and overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with our full range of internal policies and procedures and statutory requirements. 

The major challenges in the next two years include procuring new web sites to better represent each of our schools whilst maintaining a common Federation identity; refreshing our intranet to make it a more useful resource for staff; developing a communication commitment for all our staff; identifying and implementing improvements to our internal communications.
