Why Lead Our Communications Strategy?

This is an exciting time to join Nottingham City Council. We have a clear vision and a plan to improve, recently approved by Councillors and Commissioners. We are on a journey to being a council that delivers with clear purpose, is financially sustainable and well-run. As Head of Communications, you will play a key role in supporting that journey – ensuring the organisation is informed and involved.

At Nottingham you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference and be part of a team that's shaping the future of both the council and city.

Your leadership will be pivotal in aligning our messaging with the Council's strategic priorities and corporate plan, ensuring that Nottingham stands out as a city of innovation and opportunity.

What We're Looking For

  • Lead with Vision: Provide expert advice and strategic direction on communication and marketing, ensuring that the Council's key priorities are effectively communicated while mitigating strategic risks.
  • Champion Our Brand: You have a deep understanding of corporate branding, particularly in the context of commercialisation, and can ensure that our brand is consistently and effectively represented across all platforms.
  • Stay Ahead of Trends: You're always in tune with the latest political, social, and economic trends, using this knowledge to drive innovative initiatives that enhance Nottingham's reputation.
  • Inspire and Develop Teams: You're a natural leader who can motivate and develop a team of communications professionals, delivering cohesive and impactful campaigns that resonate both internally and externally.
