The National Biodiversity Data Centre is a state-sponsored centre, established to support biodiversity data and information needs to address the Biodiversity Crisis.

Given the recent growth of the organisation, and the increasingly diverse work programme, the Centre is now looking to appoint a Communications Officer to provide added capacity to focus on both internal and external communications, and to provide coordination of communications initiatives across the organisation.

The Communications Officer will have responsibility for coordination and management of both the internal and external communications of the National Biodiversity Data Centre. The overall framework will be provided by the Centre’s Communications Strategy and associated Communications Plan. Currently, a Communications Strategy is being finalised which strives to align better the communication outputs with the Centre’s Strategic Plan 2024-2028. The initial priority of the post holder will be to make this Communications Strategy operational, and to provide coordination across the organisation.

In addition to strategic coordination and management of communications, the successful candidate will be expected to produce, with colleagues, a range of communications content, for written, video and social media.
