Join us as our next Communications and Engagement Manager 

Are you a natural storyteller with a passion for people, purpose and impact? Do you thrive on crafting compelling narratives, leading with compassion, and inspiring others to connect with a shared mission? If so, we’d love to hear from you. 

We’re looking for a Communications and Engagement Manager to join our talented team of creatives, writers and digital specialists. You’ll be at the heart of shaping how we communicate – internally and externally – ensuring our voice is clear, consistent and aligned with our values of compassion, courage, respect, integrity and excellence. 

This is more than a communications role. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, drive innovation, and bring our strategic priorities to life through powerful storytelling, stakeholder engagement and inclusive campaigns. You’ll support senior leaders, manage high-profile media relations, and be part a key part of the digital transformation across our channels. 

You’ll need to be a confident writer with a creative spark, a strategic thinker and a tactical leader with a collaborative spirit, and a fair and ethical manager who brings out the best in others. 

If you’re ready to make a meaningful difference and help us protect South Wales today and be ambitious for tomorrow, we want to hear from you.
