**PR & Media Officer**:
Job description

Part Time / 30 Hours Per Week / Permanent

We’re looking for an experienced Media & PR officer to join our busy team.

Leicester is a confident, proudly-diverse and welcoming city with 2,000 years of history, and you’ll have the opportunity to help raise its growing profile and promote everything that’s good about living and working here.

It’s a part time, permanent position working 30 hours across a four-day week, Monday to Friday. You’ll have flexibility in hybrid working being both office based, at City Hall and working remotely from home.

**What you’ll be doing**

You’ll play a key role in promoting services and highlighting the work of the city council through effective media relations and the creation of high-quality editorial and digital content for a range of outlets and platforms. You’ll also be providing professional advice and support to council staff, councillors and the City Mayor and his executive team.

**What you’ll need**

These are challenging times for councils across the country, and you’ll need to have the experience and confidence to cope with a constantly changing workload, working directly with senior management, the mayoral team, and partner organisations.

You’ll need to have excellent writing skills, experience of creating and delivering PR campaigns, and a talent for all things digital, as you’ll be helping to maintain the council’s social media platforms.

**What we can offer you**

As well as the satisfaction of helping to improve thousands of lives across Leicester, you can look forward to a work environment that encourages a healthy work/life balance. You’ll enjoy generous annual leave, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and the option of flexible working. We’ll also give you the chance to develop your skills and expertise with a variety of training and development opportunities. In addition, you can choose from a number of flexible benefits, including discounts on city buses and trains. For an illustrative value of your benefits package, take a look at our benefits calculator.

**Join us**

**Interview/Assessments will take place on Thursday 29th February 2024.
