I refer to the above and your request dated 5, May 2016. I have contacted
the relevant services and now provide a response to the following request
Information about the communications team.
1. What minimum qualifications are required to be a communications
manager in your organisation (based on your existing job specs)
The communications and marketing service is in the process of
restructuring and refreshing all job descriptions. There is no longer a
job titled communications manager but there is a communications and
marketing business partner post. All roles in the team are expected to
meet communications and marketing competencies as set out in the
Government Communications Service competency framework. Business partners
are expected to meet and demonstrate higher level competencies.
2. May I request a copy of the job specification for the position of
communications officer
The current job description for the post of communications officer dates
from 2011 and like all job descriptions within the service is under
review. The 2011 job description is attached.
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
The structure chart for the communications and marketing service is
attached. Not all posts are currently filled.
4. May I request a breakdown of the job roles and respective salaries
for all posts within the communications team
