While these roles work across all Council areas, two of our new recruits will lead role in supporting our Waste and Cleansing services, and one in our Greenspace service developing targeted communications to engage residents and drive service improvements.

Key skills and experience:

• A strong background in Marketing, Communications, and PR.
• A "strong news sense" and the ability to craft compelling narratives for diverse audiences.
• Experience in digital marketing for recruitment, commercialisation, or behaviour change campaigns.
• The ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment while maintaining initiative and enthusiasm.
• Confidence in collaborating with senior stakeholders and external partners.
