Rewards and Benefits Summary 2026

The Diocese of Westminster is seeking a talented and motivated Content and Digital Officer to help us tell powerful stories that inspire our communities, and strengthen engagement across our digital and print platforms.

You will support the Communications Office in its mission to help people experience Christ’s love through his Church. We’re looking for a creative storyteller who cares deeply about the Gospel and can turn that passion that into compelling content.

About the Role

As Content and Digital Officer, you will play a key role in producing high‑quality multimedia content that reflects the values, people and mission of the Diocese. Your key responsibilities will be to:

  • Produce engaging videos, photography, graphics, articles and social media content, working to clear briefs, brand guidelines and editorial direction.
  • Support digital publishing, scheduling and community engagement across diocesan channels.
  • Assist with both studio and location‑based shoots, including events and parish visits.
  • Help maintain our digital asset library and media archive.
  • Update the diocesan website and assist in the production of the weekly e-newsletter.
  • Keep abreast of trends in digital storytelling, content design and social platforms.

Please note, this is a fast-paced environment with a demanding workload. You will be part of a team that is expected to turn high-quality content around quickly, often under pressure. Due to the nature of the Church, evening and weekend work is a frequent and essential part of the role (filming Masses and diocesan events). Time off in lieu is provided.

  • Ability to write clear, engaging copy for various audiences.

Desirable

  • Photography or audio production skills.
  • Experience in a faith‑based, non‑profit or charitable setting.
  • Understanding of the Catholic Church and its mission.

Who we are

The Diocese of Westminster serves the London boroughs north of the River Thames, stretching from the River Lea in the east to Hillingdon in the west, and including Hertfordshire to the north and the Borough of Spelthorne to the south.

Established by Blessed Pius IX on 29 September 1850, the diocese celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2025. Today, the diocese’s parishes and schools reflect a rich diversity of cultures and traditions. A key part of its mission is expressed through agencies such as Caritas Westminster who support those most at risk of exclusion due to poverty, disability, isolation, and exploitation.
