Job Description: Disability Sport Wales are looking a motivated, exceptionally organised and proactive individual, preferably with communications experience to gain part-time employment in media and communications within inclusive sport and physical activity act as the operational hub of the COG, bringing together colleagues, coordinating communications activity and ensuring that planned content moves from initial idea through development, approval and publication. You will help maintain a clear overview of what is being communicated, when it is being communicated and how it supports DSW's wider priorities.

The Opportunity:

This is a unique opportunity for a motivated, exceptionally organised and proactive individual to gain part-time employment in media and communications within inclusive sport and physical activity. Whilst it is not essential that the successful postholder has previous experience of a communications-type role, we would expect that this would be an area of work that the successful individual would want to take forward as their career.

You will join the Disability Sport Wales team and take a key role in the organisation's day-to-day communications delivery, taking operational ownership of our digital content and helping ensure that communications are timely, consistent, engaging, accessible and inclusive.

DSW works in partnership with LloydBell Productions (LBP), who lead on strategic communications, PR and media. You will connect with colleagues in LBP to ensure there is a seamless link between everything DSW does and how it is communicated, via the DSW Communications Operational Group (COG).

A key part of this role will be to act as the operational lead for the COG, bringing together colleagues, coordinating communications activity and ensuring that planned content moves from initial idea through to development, approval and publication. You will help maintain a clear overview of what is being communicated, when it is being communicated and how it supports DSW's wider priorities.

There is significant opportunity to work in partnership with colleagues in DSW to create current, innovative, accessible and audience-focused communications, and to gain mentoring from the DSW team and through your work with LBP.

DSW has a wide range of programmes, products and messages to share with disabled and non-disabled people in Wales. We are keen to ensure that our message reaches every disabled person in Wales and that we become well connected to organisations that liaise with disabled people but may not currently be aware of DSW.

We are looking for someone who can combine creativity with strong organisational skills: someone who can identify stories and opportunities, coordinate contributions from colleagues, manage competing deadlines and take responsibility for maintaining a high standard of communications across our digital channels.
