ABOUT US

The successful candidate will be joining an experienced team of professionals in supporting the council’s communications needs. We showcase the work of services including social care for adults and children, highways and transport, fire and rescue, trading standards, education, public health, cultural services (including libraries), waste disposal and many others. In 2024, we dealt with more than 2,000 media enquiries as well as consistently placing positive news about the council in the local, trade and national media, producing our own video and social media content – working hand in hand with colleagues across the communications team on campaigns.

Reporting to the communications and media manager, you will be responsible for all aspects of delivering communications for adult social care while also supporting the whole team. You will often have to work to tight deadlines and respond quickly and nimbly while managing heavy workloads.
