Experience of designing and implementing targeted campaigns and communications for a range of audiences is essential. You will work closely with our Communities, Youth, Landscape and Employment managers and their teams to ensure communications and digital engagement requirements are met and that communication is tailored and optimised for each area of work and / or project.

We are looking for someone to provide effective support, management and leadership to the Communications Team, currently a team of four. An important function of the role is managing and planning the team’s workload based on their capacity, as monitored through our internal Project Management System.
