Communications Assistant

Are you a communications assistant with some experience, looking for a new challenge? We want to recruit a motivated, enthusiastic, and proactive communications professional to help us deliver our communications and engagement strategy. From helping us to deliver our annual events calendar, to contributing to content creation projects, to overseeing our social media channels – your role will be varied and creative.

The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) promotes the health, safety and wellbeing of patients, service users and the public by raising standards of regulation and registration of people working in health and care. We are an independent body, accountable to the UK Parliament.

You will be working alongside our Communications Manager and our Communications and Publications Officer within a small communications team. We are a busy and ambitious team looking for a creative and organised person to support and enhance our plans. You will have some experience working in one or more of the following areas, in a support role:

• Event management


• Content creation


• Social media


• Digital campaigns


• Website development


• Administration (e.g. updating documents, editing spreadsheets)


• Desk-based research

We are committed to promoting a fair and inclusive workplace where all our staff can flourish and reach their full potential. We know that a diverse workforce, at all levels, allows for a more creative and productive environment bringing different viewpoints, knowledge and experience. Therefore, we are keen to improve the diversity within our organisation and would like to encourage individuals who come from a diverse range of backgrounds.

As a Disability Confident employer, we will guarantee an interview for people with disabilities who meet all the essential criteria, so if you would like to be considered under this scheme, please let us know.

The PSA operates a hybrid working policy of two days in the office in Blackfriars in London and the expectation is that candidates will adhere to this.
