Summary

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their PR & Communications career in Bristol.

Corporate reputations are built and lost faster than ever, and the businesses that get this right treat communications as a core function, not an afterthought. This is an established, growing SME in the PR & Communications sector, and the Head of Corporate Communications sits right at the centre of how the business is perceived by clients, staff and the wider market. It's a role with real influence, in a Bristol business that's scaling with intent rather than chasing growth for its own sake.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Lead the development and delivery of corporate communications strategy across internal and external audiences

Write and edit press releases, briefing documents, executive statements and internal announcements

Build and maintain relationships with journalists, media contacts and industry commentators

Manage reputational risk, including drafting holding statements and advising leadership during sensitive situations

Oversee the corporate tone of voice across the company's channels, from LinkedIn to internal newsletters

Report on communications performance and adjust plans based on what's actually landing

Here are the skills you'll need:

Solid experience in a PR, communications or media relations role, ideally with some line management exposure

Excellent written English. You'll need to switch between a formal press statement and a casual internal update in the same afternoon

Confidence advising senior stakeholders, including pushing back when a proposed message won't land well

A working understanding of media law, particularly around defamation and confidentiality

Calm under pressure. Corporate communications rarely waits for a convenient moment

Genuine curiosity about the news agenda and how it intersects with the business you're representing

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £39,000 to £51,000, depending on experience

Private medical insurance and pension contribution

Hybrid working, with the flexibility to balance office collaboration and home focus

Generous annual leave plus flexible working arrangements

Structured progression within a growing company that still has defined, sensible processes

Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?

PR & Communications has grown well beyond press releases and media lists. Businesses now need people who can shape a narrative across a dozen channels at once, and that demand keeps rising. Bristol has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a mix of agencies, tech firms and established SMEs all competing for communications talent. Get a few years into a Head of Corporate Communications role and the next step, whether that's Director of Communications or a move client-side into a bigger organisation, tends to follow naturally.
