South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council have clear ambitions for the future, with the Communications and Design team being critical to delivering strategic communications that enable our communities to understand our overall direction.

We’re currently recruiting a Communications Officer to join a small team of communications and design professionals. You’ll play a crucial role in ensuring that South Hams District and West Devon Borough communications and consultations are engaging, effective and have maximum reach.

You will collaborate daily with colleagues from across the Councils to deliver a high-quality communications and design service which communicates the aspirations of the Councils. Through your work, the team will demonstrate how local democracy operates and ensures the business of the Councils is transparent, with opportunities for local people to get involved.

You will be expected to deliver a full range of communication support including, public relations, marketing, video production, social media management, consultation, engagement, media monitoring, campaign management and media relations.
