Here at UKSBS, we’re a customer-focused, forward-thinking digital organisation.

We provide a range of efficient, scalable, and expert Finance, HR and Payroll, Procurement and Business IT services enabling our partners to achieve the best outcomes for British citizens and the UK economy. 

Our staff are the key to our success, and we always try to go the extra mile to look after them.

We can offer flexible and family friendly working arrangements, great benefits, including generous annual leave, supportive and inclusive work environments, and opportunities to learn and grow your career with us. 

In line with the Government’s Shared Services Strategy, UKSBS is the shared service provider within the Matrix Programme.

The Programme’s aim is to deliver a modern, cost-effective and scalable shared business service to nine Departments (the Policy Cluster) in a flexible way that can meet changing Government requirements, and drive innovation to optimise efficiencies and enhance user experience.

The Programme will also implement a new modern SaaS ERP platform, from which UKSBS will deliver these services, driving harmonisation and significant business change across the Departments.

This is a large, complex multi-year Programme.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Communications Manager to join us as the Communications lead for the Matrix Programme.

Working in a small team, you will provide direction and leadership on communications, develop the UKSBS communications strategy for both Matrix and transformation, and liaise with the Matrix Programme to ensure consistent messaging and approach.

  • Expertise at senior level stakeholder engagement, influencing and building effective relationships
  • Demonstrable experience of developing and delivering strategic communications campaigns
  • Excellent strategic planning skills supporting the delivery of corporate, programme, project and business change communications
  • In return for your skills and experience, we work a mixture of full and part time hours across a 37hr week with varying working patterns.

    We have a hybrid working model which offers flexibility; some of the business work remotely from home coming into one of our offices once a week, and some of us prefer to be in the office more often.

    If it helps, there is even flexibility on which office you base yourself from - Swindon, Newport, or Billingham. 

    We are an inclusive and Disability Confident employer and welcome all applications.

    Closing date for applications is midnight on Sunday 2nd June.

    Interviews are scheduled for: Monday 17th and Wednesday 19th June.
