The postholder will support the work of NICE’s busy communication directorate. This includes the provision of personal administrative services for the communications director and operational support for the wider directorate, including administrative support for meetings, committees, and key cross-directorate projects.

In particular, the postholder will work closely with the strategic communications team to support the effective delivery of communication activities including both virtual and in-person events.
