Employer Brand Content Specialist
The details
What is the role?
The Employer Brand Content Specialist is a new role that will work within the Employer Brand team to help build awareness of Newton as an employer of choice through the creation of compelling content and copy.
Building and managing an organisation’s reputation as an employer has been proven to demonstrably increase the quality of individuals we hire, the level of engagement that existing employees have and, ultimately, can be shown to assist in the profitability of the organisation overall. Developing a coherent, compelling and relevant employer brand message is therefore a vital part of our ongoing people strategy.
An important part of employer brand is storytelling. Telling the story of life at Newton, who we are and what we stand for as an employer in an authentic voice that resonates externally and with our people. The content specialist will develop our tone of voice and then create content that reflects our voice to show who we are, our values and our culture. We are looking for someone who is creative, with strong writing and storytelling skills and a passion for communication.

You’ll work closely with the Employer Brand team to create content that aligns Newton’s goals with the right audiences.
Tone of voice is important to ensure that our voice is reflective of who we are as people to work with. It needs to be human and authentic. You’ll be key to creating this and then ensuring that it is embedded across our communications.
You will also need to get under the skin of our key target audiences to create messaging that resonates for our major campaigns.
