**What is the job?**

A rare opportunity has arisen for a motivated individual with enthusiasm for global affairs to become our International Twinning Officer. You will drive forward the relationships Bristol City Council has with our seven twin cities around the world, and liaise with local organisations to ensure Bristol citizens of all ages and communities can be involved in our international partnerships.

We are looking for someone who has good diplomacy and communication skills, working in a large organisation as well as with the community, and most of all a passion for all things international.

**What will I be doing?**

You will be based within the International Affairs team which provides strategic and practical support to the Mayor, Councillors and council colleagues on international work. You will be regularly liaising with contacts in the local authorities in the seven twin cities, as well as with the twin city associations in Bristol.
