You will effectively be the backbone of the Council's operations, with a focus on organisation, policies and procedures, while ensuring that all communications are accurate and actioned in a timely manner.
You will often act as the first point of contact for many of our stakeholders, so a key component of this role will involve communicating with a range of community members in a manner that is culturally sensitive.
