Every
day is different working in the Corporate Communications team at
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service – from planning campaigns that help
save people’s lives to supporting colleagues dealing with serious
incidents.
You’ll need to be able to think on your feet when
dealing with emergency incidents, be confident and creative on social
media and deliver regular and targeted media coverage. As well as a keen

dynamic role.
We are looking for a professional, resilient
individual with great people skills, preferably with previous relevant
experience and a demonstrable ability to work to high standards and
tight deadlines. You will also be required to take part in an
out-of-hours communications rota.
This is a challenging yet
immensely rewarding position in a dedicated team. A fast moving and exciting
environment where you make a real difference, awaits the successful
candidate with excellent opportunities for career development.
