About the role:

Help tell the stories behind the Society 

Every day, something worth talking about happens at Lincolnshire Co-op. 

A colleague goes above and beyond for a customer. A team member realises their potential. A new initiative launches that helps make life better for our communities. 

The challenge isn't finding those stories. 

It's making sure our people hear them. 

We're looking for an Internal Communications Co-ordinator to help bring our communications to life across the Society. Working alongside our Internal Communications Manager and wider Communications team, you'll create engaging content and help colleagues stay informed, connected and involved in what's happening across the business. 

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys writing, creating varied content and building relationships. Whether you're interviewing colleagues, capturing photography and video or supporting events, you'll play an important role in helping colleagues understand the impact they have every day. 

 

 

More than creating content 

You'll write articles, make videos, capture stories and deliver campaigns across our internal channels that support colleague engagement and bring our purpose to life. You'll help colleagues understand organisational priorities, celebrate achievements and stay connected to the wider Society. 

But this role is about more than content. 

You'll help monitor and develop our internal communication channels, analyse engagement data, support colleague engagement activity and events, and identify new opportunities to improve how we communicate with colleagues.  

No two days will look the same. 

And that's exactly what makes the role so interesting. 

 

 

A Co-op with plenty to talk about 

Many people know us for our food stores. Others know us through our pharmacies, travel branches, funeral homes or post offices. 

What connects all of those businesses is a shared purpose: bringing together ideas, energy and resources to make life better in our communities. 

As Internal Communications Co-ordinator, you'll help colleagues across the Society see the bigger picture, understand the difference they're making and feel connected to the organisation they're part of. 

That's a role with real impact.

About You

A great place to learn and develop 

This role would suit someone with experience in communications, marketing, journalism or public relations who is looking to develop their career in a varied and fast-paced environment. 

You'll be naturally curious, highly organised and confident communicating with people from all walks of life. You'll enjoy asking questions, uncovering stories and finding creative ways to engage different audiences. You'll also be comfortable managing multiple priorities and adapting quickly when plans change. 

Experience creating content is important, whether that's writing articles, interviewing colleagues, producing social media content, capturing photography and creating videos. If you're someone who enjoys telling stories and bringing ideas to life, you'll feel right at home here. 

 

 

What you'll get in return 

Alongside the opportunity to shape how our colleagues experience Lincolnshire Co-op, you'll receive: 

  • 30 days annual leave (pro rata), including bank holidays.
  • A pension scheme with up to 12% employer contributions. 
  • Generous colleague discounts across our family of businesses. 
  •  Our annual discretionary bonus. 
  • Access to a wide range of professional development opportunities. 
  • Flexible and hybrid working opportunities where business needs allow. 
  •  Wellbeing support, colleague networks and community engagement opportunities. 
  • The opportunity to work alongside experienced communications professionals and develop your skills across a broad range of communication channels and activities. 

We're also proud to be an Investors in People Platinum employer, recognising our commitment to helping colleagues learn, develop and build rewarding careers.
