- Collaboratively developing the approach and content for the council’s consultation and engagement activities
- Building and launching activities on the council’s consultation and engagement platform, Your Voice Bucks
- Supporting the Consultation and Engagement Lead with projects designed to improve and promote the Council’s consultation and engagement service
- Collaborating with colleagues in the Communications and Engagement Team to forward plan communications and campaign activity
- Supporting with training colleagues and members in consultation and engagement best practice, including new, emerging and alternative engagement opportunities and methods.

**About you**:
You’ll have:

- excellent planning and organisational skills
- the ability to deliver to a high standard in a fast-paced environment
- experience in delivering effective support on a number of projects/campaigns at the same time
- excellent copy writing skills, spelling and use of grammar
- good oral and written communications with the ability to make clear, professional recommendations and plans
- a strong eye for detail
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills with examples of building and maintaining effective working relationships
- confidence to communicate with staff at all levels as well as elected members
- a positive, can-do attitude
- excellent ICT skills
