What we’re looking for
You’ll have a strong background in communications or marketing, with experience leading complex projects and advising at a senior level. You’ll be politically aware, comfortable managing sensitive or high-stakes situations, and confident working with a wide range of stakeholders.
You’ll also be a supportive and proactive team leader who can manage competing priorities, develop colleagues, and help deliver meaningful impact through communications.
What you/'ll bring
- Experience delivering communications strategies and campaigns.
- The ability to manage and develop a team.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- A good understanding of the public sector and its communications landscape.
- Confidence working with senior leaders and councillors.
- A calm, solutions-focused approach in high-pressure situations.
- Strong digital skills, including social media and web content.
Why join us?
You’ll join a supportive, skilled team that values creativity, collaboration, and impact. We’re proud to offer flexible working, opportunities for learning and development, and the chance to make a real difference to the lives of people across Kirklees.
