Overview
This is a great opportunity to join one of the most creative, proactive, successful teams in government.
While frequent travel to London is required due to meetings and events with senior leaders, ministers and stakeholders,
we provide a truly flexible culture. We have hybrid working in the team, and are also open to job-sharing and part-time work to support our people in being the best they can be.
You will play a role in developing and delivering outstanding communications to inform and inspire thousands of staff providing crucial services in a wide variety of roles and locations.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system.

We are focussed on making sure we have two-way communications with our staff engaged in the conversation.
We design and arrange events from small focus groups to all-staff gatherings. We use creative, informative and engaging content to make sure our channels are trusted and liked and fill our display spaces with catchy and impactful materials.
The role is varied and challenging, so a capacity for adaptable working and producing high quality work to tight deadlines is vital.
Across MoJ we are guided by our shared values - purpose, humanity, openness and togetherness. We believe in our purpose, providing justice for our society; we care about each other and those we work with, we show them humanity; we are open to learning and innovating, both in ourselves and the things we do; and we want to work together, collaborating with colleagues throughout MoJ and far beyond.
