The work will include:
- Developing and delivering a communications strategy for CAN
- Managing all our websites
- Leading our social media and wider media interaction
- Creating our fortnightly CAN e-news bulletin
- Leading the creation of all marketing/promotional materials and activity
The post is 15 hours per week (two days). The full-time equivalent salary is £39,152.
