This role involves working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment alongside a small team in the Commissioner’s Office. It will involve regular contact with the Commissioner and other senior stakeholders, and the development of working relationships with contacts from across and outside government.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on an important issue that has quickly risen up national and international political agendas. You will be supporting a Commissioner who in his first period in the role has regularly featured in international, national and regional media, which includes regular live interviews on BBC News and Radio; being accompanied by an ITN media crew to cover his work and engagement in Nigeria; and coverage and op-eds in The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, The Daily Mail, Reuters, etc.

As Communications Officer you will play a key role in building on this positive start and ensuring that both the Commissioner’s profile and communication of key issues and progress continues to increase.
