Digital Communications Officer - Fixed term, 12 months
We’re hiring a Digital Communications Officer!
If you love variety, have a creative eye, and want to help make a meaningful impact we want to hear from you!
In this role, you’ll work with senior leaders, elected members and teams right across the council from public health and social care, to community safety, highways, recycling and beyond. One day you might be filming TikToks with one of our recycling crews and the next, you’re capturing the latest developments on the regenerations of our town centres, or filming councillors as they visit local schools and businesses.
You’ll help us to connect with more than 185,000 residents through platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and more creating scroll-stopping content that captures the heart of our 700+ services and the people behind them. We’ve got powerful stories to tell, and we need someone who knows how to make them shine.
We’re looking for someone with the creativity and drive to take content from concept to completion shooting, editing, posting and adapting it for different channels. You’ll be confident storyboarding ideas, spotting trends and turning them into engaging narratives, as well as working closely with colleagues both across the council and partner agencies. You’ll use analytics and measure success, learn what resonates and refine your approach to deliver even greater impact.
Working as part of the media and digital team, the successful applicant will join an existing team of digital media and press officers, while working alongside the wider communications team. If you want to be a part of our team, we'd love to hear from you.
