Midlands Connect is looking for a detail-focused, media-savvy and politically aware Engagement Assistant to join its busy external affairs team. Whether you’re writing press releases for media, speaking to journalists, creating marketing materials, recording a podcast or reaching out to local MPs, your goal is simple – to get a better transport deal for the Midlands and promote our region on the national stage.

This role would be perfect for a creative and conscientious individual who is able to digest technical information and translate it into persuasive, inspiring and engaging content. You will work on a varied and exciting list of projects such as the Midlands Rail Hub, supporting efforts to decarbonise the transport network and push forward plans for the rollout of alternative fuels including electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered HGVs.

This is a role where there is real opportunity to develop and you will have the autonomy to succeed and experience new things. You will be part of an incredibly supportive team that will help you grow and evolve professionally.
