Why this role matters

This is not a traditional communications role in the Civil Service. This is an opportunity to lead a fundamental transformation in how the Government informs and connects with citizens in an era of rapid technological change, evolving media consumption, and the critical challenge of building public trust.

And it is an exciting time to join the Home Office. We are undertaking a major transformation of the department under the Future Home Office programme, driving a significant improvement in delivery and performance, increasing our agility to respond to emerging challenges, and creating an organisation that all staff are motivated and proud to work for. As an advisor to the Home Secretary and Permanent Secretary, who play a pivotal role in shaping and guiding this work, you will play a critical senior role in not only helping to communicate this transformation and its importance to staff and colleagues, but also in driving improvements through your own communications team. As the most senior communications advisor in the Home Office and a member of the cross-government communications leadership group, you will build on the departments formidable existing communications capability by actively leading and embracing further change and innovation, guided by a strong entrepreneurial mindset.

This is a pivotal role. You will operate at the heart of Government decision-making, shaping how policies and priorities are communicated to the public. Your work will directly influence the impact of Government policy, democratic engagement and the perception of Government, both domestically and internationally.

Audience-focused and insight-driven, you will bring consumer marketing and storytelling expertise to public service communication. You will boldly champion modern communications putting the Home Office at the forefront of a cultural shift across Government communications from reactive, press-first communications to integrated always-on campaigns, embracing digital innovation, leveraging responsible AI and boldly putting citizens at the heart of our planning and delivery.

You will be part of a senior peer network of Government Communications leaders, collectively responsible for a Civil Service profession of communicators across departments, agencies and arms-length bodies.

Drive the digital transformation of communications delivery and champion deep audience insight - harnessing data, social listening and AI tools, bringing the voice of the citizen back to government to ensure communications is embedded at the start of policymaking
