In Lambeth Together, the NHS, local authority, the voluntary sector and others collaborate to improve health and wellbeing, deliver seamless and personalised health and care support, and reduce inequalities in health.

We are looking for a talented communications all-rounder to raise the profile of our work and to promote the benefits of partnerships for health and care. You will work with our leadership and programmes to deliver a comprehensive and high-quality communications function spanning digital, content, campaigns, media, PR and stakeholder relationships.

Your excellent writing and editorial skills will come with the ability to distil the essentials from complex information to deliver high-quality communications with an impact to diverse audiences. You ll have a sound grasp of digital communications to manage the Lambeth Together website (WordPress) and social media channels and to maximise their reach and usefulness.
