About Our Outside IR35 Communications Contract Roles
What does a communications contractor do?
Organisations bring in Communications contractors to plan, create, and deliver internal and external communications across corporate, change, crisis, and stakeholder engagement programmes. The scope of work ranges from developing communications strategies and messaging frameworks through to writing and distributing content across channels including intranets, email campaigns, press releases, social media, and executive briefings. Communications contractors are widely used during organisational transformation programmes, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory change, and crisis response, where the volume and sensitivity of communications activity exceeds the capacity of in-house teams.
Effective communications contractors combine strong writing ability with strategic thinking and stakeholder management skills. The ability to translate complex or technical subject matter into clear, audience-appropriate messaging is the core competency. Experience with internal communications platforms such as SharePoint, Staffbase, or Poppulo is increasingly expected. For external communications roles, media relations experience and an established network of journalist contacts are valued. Senior contractors are expected to advise leadership teams on communications strategy, manage sensitive messaging around restructuring or regulatory issues, and coordinate across multiple workstreams and channels simultaneously.
What is the market like for communications contractors?
The market for Communications contractors is a broad and consistently active market, with demand spread across the public sector, financial services, healthcare, and large corporates undergoing change. Internal communications work dominates the contract market, driven by the volume of transformation, restructuring, and cultural change programmes that require dedicated communications support. Change communications is the single strongest sub-specialism, with contractors who can embed within programme teams and manage the people side of technology and organisational change in particularly high demand. External communications and PR contract roles tend to be shorter and more reactive, often arising around product launches, crisis situations, or regulatory announcements.
What does Outside IR35 mean?
IR35 is UK tax legislation that determines whether a contractor is genuinely self-employed or working in a manner that resembles employment. When a contract is classified as outside IR35, the engagement is treated as a business-to-business arrangement. The contractor operates through their own limited company, invoices for services, and manages their own tax affairs including corporation tax, self-assessment, and VAT where applicable.
Outside IR35 engagements are assessed against three key factors: the degree of control the client exercises over how the work is delivered, whether the contractor has a genuine right to provide a substitute, and whether there is a mutuality of obligation between the parties. Contracts that demonstrate contractor autonomy, project-based delivery, and the absence of ongoing employment obligations are more likely to sit outside IR35. Since April 2021, responsibility for making this determination sits with the end client for medium and large private sector organisations.
On QualityContracts.co.uk, approximately 28% of roles with a stated IR35 status are classified as outside IR35. The proportion varies by sector and role type, with some disciplines seeing a significantly higher or lower share of outside IR35 opportunities. Each listing on this page displays its IR35 status where provided by the hiring organisation.
What communications roles are usually Outside IR35?
Communications contracts can sit outside IR35 when structured around specific campaigns or projects: developing a communications strategy, managing a product launch, or leading a crisis communication programme with defined deliverables. PR agencies, corporates commissioning specific campaigns, and organisations managing time-limited communications challenges are the typical clients.
How much do communications contractors usually earn when working Outside IR35?
Contract rates for communications roles typically range from £350 to £650 per day, depending on the scope of the role, required expertise, and the delivery expectations of the engagement. Rates shown are for outside IR35 engagements and reflect the gross day rate paid to the contractor's limited company before any personal tax obligations.
