About the Role
CDPP is looking for a Communications and Outreach Coordinator to support the organisation's broader communication and outreach work across its research, publications, events and public-facing activities.

The role will cover communication across digital platforms, including the website and social media, as well as the development of visual and video content. Event communication and post-event content production will form an important part of the role, but will be one component of a wider communications and outreach function. The candidate will work closely with the CDPP team to understand the purpose and context of its work and determine appropriate formats and channels for communicating it.
