**Job summary**:
Good communication is essential to any organisation. We want to make sure our customers, stakeholders and staff understand our purpose, priorities and values. But we also need to make sure that we engage our staff in our priorities and support organisational and cultural change, maximising performance and delivering business strategy in the most effective way.

The team remit is broad. Our work covers internal communications and engagement; media management; strategic communications; external affairs; marketing and campaigns; corporate communications, including branding and design; customer communications; digital activity, including social media, publishing to GOV.UK; stakeholder engagement/reputation management, including conducting regular surveys; and event management.

We are part of the wider Government Communications Service (GCS) and aim to deliver standards and best practice in line with GCS guidance. We have ambitions to establish a strong communications profession within the Inspectorate, with access to development and training opportunities through the GCS and local South West networks.

The post reports to the Head of Business Improvement, Knowledge & Stakeholder Management with direct line management for two senior information officers and overall responsibility for a team of communication practitioners with external affairs, internal communications, marketing and campaigns, digital channels and press office responsibilities. There is never a dull day Even at our busiest though, it is a supportive and positive environment.

The Planning Inspectorate has a long and proud history in ensuring a fair planning system for England. The work we do has a significant impact on people’s lives, the communities where they live and the economy.

We want our colleagues to be able to work more flexibly and more collaboratively, exploring new and innovative ways to improve the way we provide services.
