  • Support the team to manage social media pages and the website.
  • Track the effectiveness of communications and adjust strategies accordingly.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with local stakeholders including community groups, charities, businesses, and local leaders.
  • Act as a key point of contact for community organisations, ensuring enquiries are responded to promptly and professionally.

Desirable Skills & Experience:

  • Confident communicator with excellent verbal and written skills, and a genuine interest in community engagement.
  • Experience organising or supporting community events.
  • Knowledge of local communities and stakeholder networks.
  • Creative, digitally confident, and able to produce engaging content.
