This is a rare opportunity to work with a highly skilled team of communications and marketing professionals in a role that is pivotal to supporting that ambition through the council’s priorities.

You will be part of the forward-thinking team that tells the council’s and the Leeds story through excellent public relations, marketing, design, and digital communications. We drive campaigns, help services inform and engage with people about what the council is doing and work across a range of initiatives and issues.

**Your role**

We have three communications officer posts available and need people who can work both independently and as part of a team, to consistently achieve a high standard of work that helps deliver council and city priorities.

Our digital and social officer will be at the forefront of the latest platforms, tools, and trends. The graphic designer will be an innovator, taking the creative lead on projects and providing professional advice and guidance.
