The Diocese is looking to recruit a part-time Communications Officer to produce and edit accurate, well-written online and offline content across diocesan platforms, telling the Church’s story and its contribution to society. The successful candidate will support the Head of Communications in managing the digital and print presence of the diocese, including content management for our website and social platforms and communications for fundraising campaigns.

The Communications Team is small and agile with a vital role in showcasing the aims and activities of the Church in our diocese. Flexibility around tasks undertaken is essential to contribute fully to this busy and often reactive function. The successful candidate will have a university degree or equivalent, and at least three years’ experience in a communications role. Photography skills would be beneficial but training can be given.

The role is based at our Crawley office with travel across the Diocese (Sussex and Surrey). We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds - the successful applicant does not have to be a Catholic but must be sympathetic towards and supportive of the aims, vision, and mission of the Catholic Church.
