Tackling a climate change, transforming lives and delivering value for money - just a snapshot of our current priorities. And by recruiting an ever-growing army of foster carers, attracting companies to our business parks, ensuring new homes and jobs are created in the right place and planting 700,000 trees, we’re seeing results.
But there’s still work to do. To help with this challenge, we’re looking for a media and communications professional who can create compelling content.
**Our media, communications and digital team is responsible for**:
- Proactive media relations - telling the council’s story - and running a traditional press desk, managing journalists’ queries and helping to manage the council’s reputation
- Social and commercial marketing campaigns
- Engaging stakeholders, staff and managers
- Creative design for print, digital, social and video
- Customer-focused digital services
As a member of our busy team, you will bring your professional expertise to a range of communications activities. We’re looking for someone with experience in a press office or media environment, with an eye for a story and a grasp of print, broadcast, digital and social media.
**Are you right for the job? We ask all our team members to**:
- Be original - crafting compelling content and striving to explore new ideas and better ways to achieve our aims
- Always place our audiences at the heart of your work
- Be responsible for the council’s reputation and always act in its best interests
- Be responsible for the council’s money - acting in a business-like way
- Be positive, flexible and open to new ideas and ways of working
- Be determined and able to face challenges head-on - and work collaboratively with a broad range of services across the council - influencing people to get results
If you’re keen to find out more, please read the job description and person specification.
