What do you do?
A bit of everything! I provide support to the Divisional Communications team, monitor media coverage, arrange travel, update contact lists, organise media training….it’s very varied!
Why did you join the NSPCC?
I started working for the NSPCC in September 2007. Although I had worked in other communications offices, my last job was a very unfulfilling one at a local council. When a position in the Divisional Comms office was advertised I jumped at the chance to join an organisation whose work I believe in and where I felt I would be doing something worthwhile.
As with most jobs, some days it can be great and everyone will answer their emails straight away, whilst on others it can be really frustrating. Working in Communications, you learn a lot about the different projects and it’s great to see all the positive work that the NSPCC does.
What benefits are there?
There’s a good support structure…and the holiday allowance is great!
What do you find rewarding about your job?
It sounds a bit of a cliché, but the biggest reward really is knowing that whatever your role, you are doing something to help reduce cruelty to children.
What values do you feel are important for working with the NSPCC?
An ability to multi-task is very important, as well as dedication, flexibility and respect.
