Exciting PR role at award-winning Top 20 Leeds consultancy

Aberfield Communications is a PR and brand communications consultancy on the rise. Following sustained growth and new client wins, we’re on the hunt for a talented professional to join our team. 

Are you a journalist considering a move into PR? A multi-skilled content creator across print, digital and video keen to widen your knowledge and skills? Or a PR consultant looking to take the next steps in your career? If any of these sound like you, Aberfield would love to hear from you.  

With established experience of at least one year working within the media as a journalist or content creator, or in an agency or in-house communications role, you’ll be passionate about taking your skills and career to the next level in a supportive, fun environment. In this role, we’ll put you on a development path to account manager level and beyond, empowering you to pursue your interests, learn new skills and become an important part of our close-knit team. 

You’ll join a growing team of 11 based in our Leeds office working with fantastic national and global brands across a range of sectors including food and drink, culture and leisure, property and regeneration, and professional services. We’re a Prolific North Top 20 agency, are the current PR Moment B2B Agency of the Year, and were recently shortlisted in multiple national CIPR Excellence Awards categories. 

Primarily focused on corporate, B2B and B2C communications, our multi-award-winning work and reputation is based on our stand-out approach to PR, one that’s based on audience insight and on rigorous evaluation. We don’t measure reach; we measure engagement and influence. 

 Does this sound like you? 

• You’ve a minimum of one to two years’ good experience under your belt, either in the publishing industry or PR and communications. 

• You’ve achieved great results for your clients, organisation or your brand. 

• You’re a people person, whether that’s interviewing someone for a feature or video, building relationships with senior clients or being a team player. 

• You have a real interest in current affairs, are insatiably curious about how the world works and have opinions on what’s going on both locally and nationally. 

• You’re a confident and accomplished writer, whatever the content.  

• You potentially have experience in creating professional ‘social first’ video content that engages audiences and gets people talking. 

• You’re creative but you also have great attention to detail. 

• You have a solid understanding of emerging technologies and how they can be used effectively.
