Communications Specialist
Background The Civil Service is at the heart of Irish society. Everything we do impacts our country, and most importantly, our people. We are a robust and trusted institution, which has served the people of Ireland since the foundation of the State. While the challenges which face the Civil Service today are different to those faced at the foundation of the State, our core values remain the same. The Civil Service is a large complex organisation employing over 47,000 people in approximately 40 Government Departments and offices and a range of other bodies. Every day the Civil Service makes a vital contribution to Irish life. Everything the Civil Service does, from carrying out the work of Government to delivering frontline public services, impacts Ireland in some way. Improving communication capacity across Government Departments is a key enabler to ensure effective policy implementation and strong public understanding of the work being carried out by Civil Servants in delivering for the people of Ireland. In recognition of the importance of communicating and engaging with citizens, Departments have professionalised their communications services at all levels. The Civil Service is now recruiting for Communication Specialists which can offer a satisfying, and varied career, with competitive terms and conditions. As well as a rewarding and challenging career, some of the benefits the Civil Service offers as Communication Specialists are: • Competitive salary, with yearly increments for satisfactory performance • Public Sector pension • 29 days of annual leave per year rising to 30 after 5 years’ service • Flexible working, with a commitment to work-life balance and a family-friendly workplace • Learning and development opportunities, including access to a refund of course fees scheme, paid study leave and paid examination leave • Access to Shorter Working Year Scheme • Facility to apply for career breaks • Cycle to work scheme • Access to Public Service Credit Union • Tax saver public transport pass • Regular opportunities for promotion through internal, inter-departmental and open competitions.

They will also be expected to apply judgement and flexibility in a challenging and fast-moving environment. The role presents an excellent opportunity for successful candidates to shape communications policy, strategy and practice within Government Departments and offices.

Where this occurs, Civil Service overtime and travel and subsistence rates will apply. Key Duties and Responsibilities Depending on the Civil Service organisation, the following is an overview of the type of responsibilities and tasks required of the successful candidate: • Assisting in developing strategies to enhance external and internal communication and contributing to the delivery of those strategies. • Managing media relations, including preparing press releases, handling of enquiries from journalists and other media contacts via telephone calls and email. • Managing comprehensive media lists and proactive media relationship building as required by the organisation's business priorities. • Arranging and organising events, interviews and press conferences. • Monitoring current affairs, including Oireachtas business, and media coverage of the organisation and disseminate this information to relevant internal stakeholders. • Day to day management of junior staff members as required and championing of an integrated and energised communications team approach. • Development and implementation of the organisation's digital and social media strategy, including content calendars based on the organisation's communications priorities. • Create content that can be leveraged across all of the organisation's platforms, including photography, videography, graphics. • Provide support and briefing to spokespeople in preparation for media engagements and coordination of training if required. • Help develop new and innovative ways to communicate to the media and the public. • Maintaining an external viewpoint to keep up to date on consumer trends and relevant communications developments. • Participating in the Government Communications Network and championing cross- Government collaboration to deliver best practice communications. • Carrying out any other duties relevant to the role assigned from time to time by the Head of the Section/Department.
