Currently looking to recruit an Employee Communications and Engagement Partner based at Monument Place, London Bridge
The Communications and Engagement Business Partner will be the first point of contact for local leaders, acting as the public branch of the employee communications and engagement team.
You'll offer first class counsel to senior leaders, and make sure communication plans and engaging approaches are in place for major projects and change initiatives in an ever-changing industry that attracts much attention. Your primary client area will be the safety, health and wellbeing teams, as well as other leaders based at GTR's HQ that have a story to tell.
You'll provide advice on reputation management and how to land messages with authenticity and credibility, coaching leaders to do so. You'll also ensure colleagues are given the opportunity to have their say in the business and have a clear line of sight of the part they play.
You'll be able to turn your hand to a range of work, strategic and tactical - from writing articles showcasing great work in saving lives, supporting and organising ‘live saver' recognition events to crafting the script for management calls on the importance of suicide prevention. You'll own the approach and plan to embed a strong safety culture across the organisation, helping to cut accidents, assaults and operational incidents (one of GTR's three pillars: ‘brilliant basics').
You won't do this alone, however, as you'll have specialist content creators, event organisers and campaign experts to draw upon and coordinate to help deliver creative solutions that excite our people. You'll also be able to share ideas and learn from other business partners who support Southern, Gatwick Express, Thameslink and Great Northern.
To understand local challenges to communications and how best to land messages with audiences, you'll spend a good deal of your time with your respective leadership teams and out and about on the network to get a flavour of how messages land – and adapt where necessary.
And, you'll role model GTR's values and ensure they're woven into local narratives and decisions.
What's in it for you?
