Defra group communications is looking for ambitious, talented and motivated press officers to join our team and shape the news agenda on some of the most high-profile issues in government.

Our stories are often at the top of broadcast news bulletins, trend on Twitter and on the front pages of newspapers - whether that's our work to reduce unnecessary single use plastic, our efforts to clean up our oceans or measures to improve the welfare of animals.

This is an exciting opportunity to be in one of Whitehall’s busiest press offices, in a government department playing an important role as the UK implements a new relationship with the European Union.

This is a fixed term appointment.

This post will last for 18 months from the agreed start date, with the possibility to extend or make permanent depending on circumstances at the time.

While a flexible location, the successful candidate will need to be able to travel to London at short notice for meetings with Ministers and senior leaders.
