Do you believe great internal communications can strengthen culture, build trust and help people do their best work? And would you like to use those skills in an organisation whose purpose is to protect our planet and the communities that depend on it? At UKCEH, we’re looking for a senior internal communications specialist who lives and breathes the craft - someone energised by purpose, confident in their judgement, and committed to making strategic communication count.

This is an exciting moment for UKCEH. With a refreshed brand and an ambitious new strategy, we need a Senior Internal Communications Manager who can bring clarity, direction and confidence to how we communicate. Working closely with our Head of Communications & Engagement, you’ll shape and deliver communications that unite colleagues behind our Strategy to 2030, guide people through change and embed our new brand across our four UK sites and our team in Ghana.

You’ll help build a connected, transparent and engaged culture where colleagues feel informed, involved and inspired.

We’re looking for someone who can take control when needed — discerning, calm and clear. Someone who knows when a message needs a structured comms approach and when a conversation is enough. You’ll streamline channels, eliminate noise and ensure our internal and external narratives align. Confident partnering with senior leaders, you’ll help them communicate with consistency and coherence, reinforcing our values and organisational identity at every touchpoint.

Above all, you’ll champion genuine two‑way communication. From CEO communications and all stall talks, to digital screens, newsletters and our intranet, you’ll lead and measure purposeful, well‑governed internal communication with listening loops that help colleagues feel heard and valued.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how UKCEH communicates, collaborates and evolves during a defining chapter in our story. If you’d like to see the impact this role helps amplify, we invite you to watch our new brand video:
