Giving Voice Society: Communications Officer

I am applying for the role of Communications Officer for the Giving Voice Society. I have previous experience in working in a university committee, having been the Equality Officer and President for the Psychology Society at the University of Bristol for my undergrad. 

I am a responsible, creative individual and I think this role would therefore suit my strengths. I look forward to building connections and working in a team to successfully run events and inform people about speech, language, and communication needs. Being a Speech and Language Therapy student myself means I am already interested in this subject and am motivated to make content for the society.

I believe I would make a good communications officer as I have 5 years of experience working at a global communications consultancy. In this position, I managed the social media platforms of multiple companies across various industries, which also included managing both organic and paid social media campaigns. I was also part of the consultancy's internal comms team and led on the executive positioning of a senior person within the company. I believe this experience gives me the skills to support the Giving Voice team in helping to raise awareness amongst students as well as professional SLTs and others, of the difficulties faced by those with speech, language and swallowing needs, and how an SLT can help support them.
