Communications Coordinator

at  Civil Service Superannuation Board

COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

Plain language police, report for duty! If you secretly rewrite wordy restaurant menus or mentally add correct punctuation to texts, we’ll give you a badge and a paycheck for it.
We’re looking for a communications coordinator who is an exceptional writer and editor, skilled at creating clear, compelling content across various platforms. If you’re a team player with a passion for storytelling and a knack for finding the simplest way to explain complex things, we’d love to hear from you.
This role requires some basic graphic design skills. Video editing and creation skills would be a bonus (think simple explainer videos, not Academy Award winning features).

• Experience: Minimum two years
• Education: Degree or diploma in communications, public relations, or a related field. A combination of education and relevant experience in communications will be considered
• Writing and editing excellence: Proven ability to write and edit for various formats and audiences (a short writing assessment and portfolio are required)
• Plain language expertise: Skilled at breaking down complex information into simple, accessible language
• Attention to detail: Exceptional proofreading and editing skills with an eye for accuracy (there will be a short editing assignment at the interview stage)
• Time management: Ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines in an environment with competing priorities
• Team player: Thrive in a collaborative environment and contribute positively to team dynamics
• Communication skills: Strong verbal and interpersonal communication skills to engage with team members and others effectively
• Basic graphic design skills: Familiarity with tools like Adobe InDesign, Canva, or similar

GOOD TO KNOW
