Communications Co-ordinator

The Communications team works to reach our members, customers, local community stakeholders and colleagues. The team builds brand awareness, engagement and interaction as well as promoting our businesses and initiatives. 

We are now looking for a Communications Co-ordinator to join the team. The role involves raising Lincolnshire Co-op’s profile in the local media and work across in-house colleague communications including a bi-monthly magazine and our colleague app. So, if you love the written word - whether it’s a magazine article, news story or a brilliantly crafted tweet – we want to hear from you! 

You’ll carry out interviews, arrange photos and write stories for the Lincolnshire Co-op members’ magazine, which goes out to over 90,000 people twice a year. You’ll also help produce fun and engaging content for our social media accounts, so video and photography skills would be an advantage.

Writing will be your passion and you’ll be able to quickly produce engaging, accurate and appropriate wording for lots of different mediums. You’ll be creative, full of energy, good with people and enjoy a wide range of communications channels, both professionally and personally. 

• You'll hold a degree-level qualification in a relevant subject or demonstrate relevant experience.
• You'll have a full working knowledge of Microsoft Office 365 applications, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. 
• You'll be organised with an ability to prioritise your workload and work collaboratively across a number of other teams across the Society. 

From a single store in 1861 we have grown to be one of the most successful co-operatives in the UK. We’re proud to be able to offer a wide range of services from across our family of businesses. From Food Stores and Pharmacies to Post Offices and Support Services, we’re a growing society made up of over 220 outlets and nearly 3,000 colleagues.

We're owned by our members, the people of Lincolnshire and surrounding counties, and have been for more than 160 years! Communities are at the heart of everything we do and motivates us to deliver more than great customer service. We support them by sharing dividend with our members, investing in new and improved services, raising money for charity through our Community Champion scheme, supporting local schools and so much more!

We work together as a Society and are committed to ensuring our recruitment process is barrier free and as inclusive as possible for everyone.
