We are looking for a creative and customer-focused person to play a varied and exciting digital communications role in our busy Policy & Communications Team. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in how we communicate with residents, businesses, and partners, supporting our corporate priorities, key projects, and service improvements.

You'll be responsible for creating and publishing engaging digital content - from website updates and social media campaigns to video production and online surveys.
