Behind the scenes this kind of process required a good deal of internal communication to help staff and partners understand what was going on and why. The result has been improved communications and some great feedback. Development and maintenance of communications channels - From Twitter and Facebook, through e-publications and a bi-annual magazine, to preaching and hosing visitors; Wycliffe connects with the UK public in a whole variety of ways. It's important that while different channels share the message in different ways to different constituents, our overall proposition and messaging stays consistent. Working with partners - Where ever Wycliffe are involved in Bible translation we work with partners. This is no different in the UK, where reaching the widest possible audience requires working with a whole host of partners. The communications team takes a large portion of the responsibility for working with partners, working on national projects such as Biblefresh and E100. There are also direct relationships with organisations such as Global Connections. Other duties:Financial planning and reporting for the marketing and communications team. Line management and recruitment of staff. Public speaking / preaching. Show less

I was responsible for managing University recruitment from the USA, Channel Islands and territories within Africa. The job had two main functions. One part was administration, managing the application process for students applying from overseas. The second part was relationship management with students, colleges, universities and agents based within the overseas markets.

Initially employed to manage permanent recruitment positions placed with Kelly Services in Southampton, Phil quickly progressed to manage the company’s account with Norwich Union (now Aviva).
