About the role
This is an excellent opportunity for applicants who are looking for a 12 month work placement to join a specialist department and gain work experience and training.
In joining #TeamSWP you will be joining a leading force and one where you will be able to contribute new ideas and work to make a difference in society.
South Wales Police particularly welcomes applicants from under-represented groups.
What you'll do
This is an exciting opportunity for either a graduate or undergraduate working towards or already possessing a degree in communication and marketing or related disciplines to make a big impact on the way in which South Wales Police recruits, engages and develops our employees.
Working within our Learning and Development arena, you will be confident, hardworking and passionate about making a difference to our employees through the delivery of great communication.
You’ll work closely with the diverse teams within the Learning & Development and with the Senior Management Team as well as our colleagues in the Corporate Communications and Human Resources teams and, amongst other activities will:

Your plans will provide key stakeholders and other internal customers with well-considered advice and guidance on the best channels to share their message in a positive and effective way. Excellent written English skills (copywriting, proof reading) and verbal communication skills are therefore essential, as is the ability to adapt the communication method and style to suit audience requirements.
