The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a communications or PR professional to play a key role in further enhancing the strong global reputation of London College of Communication, one of six world-renowned Colleges that make up University of the Arts London (UAL).

 

As External Relations Coordinator, you will use your understanding and experience of securing press coverage to identify opportunities and develop pitches that help to tell the story of London College of Communication to key external audiences.

 

This is a collaborative role within the Internal and External Relations Department. You will work with experts from across the College to develop thought leadership pieces; identify opportunities in the external media landscape to boost our reputation; and help to promote the range of projects, initiatives, events and stories that take place here.

 

Note: This role sits in London College of Communication’s Internal and External Relations Department, which is currently part of a UAL-wide transformation project taking place in 2024. This role may be subject to changes and shifts as part of that process – but the 12-month fixed term period of this role is not subject to change. The successful candidate will contribute to the co-designing of this transformation, which offers exciting possibilities to strengthen UAL’s communications function as a whole.

About you

We are looking for candidates who have experience of working in external relations, public relations or media relations, desirably (but not essentially) within a higher education or creative organisation.

We are seeking applications from individuals who can evidence an understanding of relevant media outlets across print, online and new media; have strong copywriting and copyediting experience; and will be able to engage internal stakeholders in external relations processes – helping to develop pitches and secure press coverage for the College that helps to boost our reputation with key external audiences.

If you have any queries about this role or need any reasonable adjustments for your application, please contact Lesley Wilkins, Senior Resourcing Adviser, lcc.jobs@lcc.arts.ac.uk or telephone: 020 7514 7985

Application process

We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process. Thus, you will need to create an account and submit an application through our job board. As part of this, you will need to provide a supporting statement/answer some competency questions to demonstrate your suitability. Our recruitment process involves: Application, Shortlisting, Interview and Assessment, Offer, Onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds. AI tools tend to lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates. We encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.

If we receive a high volume of applications, the closing day date might close early. We aim to communicate any changes to the closing date with at least 24 hours’ notice. If you have any general questions or have accessibility needs, please refer to our Contact us page.
