Job Description

Engagement Specialist

Leicester Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm Fully on-site

We're currently supporting a well-established, people-focused manufacturing business in Leicester with the appointment of an Engagement Specialist. This is a practical, people-facing role focused on employee engagement, internal communications and site coordination.

The role is about making sure colleagues across the site feel informed, involved and recognised through well-planned events, clear communication and consistent engagement activity.

The role

You'll take ownership of engagement activity on site, coordinating events and communications that bring people together and support a positive, inclusive working environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and coordinating site events such as celebration days, long-service awards, briefings and seasonal activities
  • Managing internal communications including newsletters, team briefs, noticeboards, screens and on-site updates
  • Supporting charity, social and CSR initiatives and encouraging participation across the workforce
  • Maintaining communication plans and calendars to ensure messages are timely and well organised
  • Supporting engagement projects, recognition initiatives and site-wide updates

This role suits someone who enjoys organisation, coordination and follow-through, and likes being visible and involved in the day-to-day life of a site-based operation.

The person

We're looking for someone who is naturally organised, people-focused and comfortable working within a diverse, environment.

You'll ideally bring:

  • Experience delivering internal communications in a site-based environment
  • Strong planning and organisational skills, with experience coordinating events or activities
  • Clear, engaging writing skills for internal audiences
  • Confidence working with colleagues at all levels of the business
  • A proactive, hands-on approach and pride in delivering things properly

If you're someone who enjoys bringing people together, takes pride in well-run events, and likes being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes, this role gives you real ownership and visibility. You'll have the freedom to shape how engagement and communication work on site, see the impact of what you deliver day-to-day, and play a key part in creating a workplace where people feel informed, involved and valued.
