      I have recently undertaken a 3-month secondment position at the UK Government within the Cabinet Office, with a focus on transforming the departments digital outputs and strategy. I have worked alongside the fast-paced Press Office & Communications teams in the Cabinet Office on key government announcements, press coverage and content as well as supporting with issues management during peak times e.g. Heatwave. I led the work with the Communications team, digital producers and political advisers for the contract period, provided recommendations to Senior Managers and Government Ministers on content and social media handling, and setup new processes and a strategy for how the Cabinet Office embeds and uses digital to tell their story. This also included working closely with other departments across government including No10 and Department for Health and Social Care. Show less
