Croydon CPP Communications Officer

The Communications Officer will be responsible for the planning and delivery of all Croydons Creative People & Places (CPP) marketing and communications activity across digital, print, out of home, press and partner channels, and the development of CPP assets.
You will combine strong, accessible writing, digital content creation
and practical event promotion skills with good judgement, cultural awareness and a proactive approach to delivery.
Your work will result in compelling, accessible, memorable and energetic campaigns, which are relevant to communities across Croydon.
This role is designed for someone able to build CPP assets during its early stages, and clearly and engagingly promote the CPP programme as it develops.

This role blends responsive strategic development, community engagement, audience development and creative storytelling.

You will be an integral and collaborative part of a small delivery team which holds full operational responsibility for the programme.
The delivery team also includes a Data Officer & Story Archivist,
an Apprentice Cultural Learning & Participation Officer, freelance Community Hosts and a Community Producer. You will work closely with the Community Producer to communicate with communities across Croydon, and the Data Officer & Story Archivist to shape storytelling and public facing reports.

Across the life of the programme we will:
– grow partnerships across sectors
– support artists and residents to collaborate with Croydon’s CPP.
– deliver a programme that ranges from neighbourhood based activity to large scale public moments
– embed evaluation and learning into everyday practice
– ensure the programme reflects Croydon’s diversity, creativity and community leadership
– act as the key connector between residents, partners, the host organisation and Arts Council England
