Dear Mr Thomas
Re: Request for Information – Freedom of Information Act 2000
I wish to confirm that the Human Resources, Performance & Communications
Directorate has now completed its search for the information which you
requested by e-mail on 5 May 2016.
Your questions and my findings are below:-
1. What minimum qualifications are required to be a communications
manager in your organisation (based on your existing job specs)
We don’t have a permanent post with this title. The nearest equivalent would be
Communications and Marketing Business Partner. The qualification required is
a relevant professional or postgraduate qualification (Level 7).
2. May I request a copy of the job specification for the position of
communications officer.
Please see attached document.
3. How many people work in the communications team & what is the
composition, eg one manager and five officers, three managers and ten
officers, five managers, five officers and five assistants etc etc
1 x Head of Comms and Marketing (£54,641 - £59,021)
1 x Comms and Marketing Manager (acting) (£40,619 - £43,387)
4 x Comms and Marketing Business Partner (£33,106 – £36,019) (one of these is
currently the acting Comms Manager, see above)
5 x Comms and Marketing Officer (£26,556 - £29,033)
1 x Comms and Marketing Assistant (Undergraduate placement) (£14,975 -
£16,191)
1 x Marketing Manager (vacant) (£36,937 - £39,660)
1 x Marketing Officer (£33,106 - £36,019)
4. May I request a breakdown of the job roles and respective salaries for all
posts within the communications team.
See above.
If you are unhappy with the way the Directorate has handled your request, you
may ask for an internal review. Please clearly mark your correspondence
‘Complaint’ and address it to:

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right
to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information
