Interim Public & External Affairs Manager - Basildon Borough Council

Basildon, Essex

Up to £150 PAYE / £187.88 UMBRELLA per day

Part Time, Temporary


Essex County Council (ECC) are delighted to be supporting Basildon Borough Council to recruit into their Interim Public & External Affairs Manager.


Working location:
Basildon, Essex (Agile Working)

Contract type:
Part Time 30 hour per week, Temporary for a 6-month period.

Closing Date:
Monday 8th July 2024

The Opportunity


The borough of Basildon is alive with opportunity and has the ingredients to be one of the most successful and desirable places in the South East.

As the largest economy in the Thames Estuary outside London, we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved but we are never complacent.

We are driving inclusive, sustainable growth to provide opportunity and prosperity for local people and businesses, access to quality homes, vibrant town centres and an enhanced local environment.


We are looking for additional support in Basildon Council's leader office to offer public affairs expertise to the leader and cabinet members.


Basildon Council enters a new era, and with the prospect of a labour national government becoming more likely, we seek to position ourselves with government and associated stakeholders, so that the residents of our borough prosper.

We seek someone to help us navigate the corridors of influence; building relationships; and enabling our newly elected councillors to hone their skills in public affairs.


This is an assignment for an experienced communicator in the public sector, with a background giving specialist advice to senior politicians.

You will enable stakeholder relations, coach Members and officers, grow our network of influence, and coordinate a detailed forward plan of communications activity.


You will help us to develop stakeholder maps, tracking opportunities for us to influence and make our voice heard with key government, and partner organisations including South Essex Councils, District Councils Network and the LGA.

You will work closely with the Communications team and other key council officers.

However, you'll spend just as much time with partners, existing and prospective stakeholders and working directly with the leader and cabinet members.

This isn't a traditional comm's/public affairs role, and Basildon isn't a traditional district borough. We want someone who will help us make the most of this new era in local and national politics.

Whilst this is not a political role, we seek someone with the acumen and experience to navigate party political environments.

We do not seek anyone of a particular political affiliation, and this role will be engaged on standard contract for service terms.


The assignment will require between one-five working days a week and is offered initially on a six month contract for services.


The post will be able to work in a hybrid environment and specialist equipment to enable this will be provided.

There is an expectation of onsite attendance in the office for direct report meetings and of course at Westminster

If you would like to be part of Basildon's success, we look forward to receiving your application.

Please see attached the Job Description and Person Specification .


Please attach your CV and Covering letter detailing how you meet each of the requirements of the Person Specification, including providing suitable examples to support each of the competencies.
