Corporate Communications Officer

Be part of the conversation and help us tell Hertsmere’s story

Are you a communications and engagement specialist with bags of creative flair for developing imaginative publicity campaigns?  Are you social media ‘savvy’, with great writing skills and with a background in journalism, media/public relations or digital content development? 

If this is you, we need to talk… 

We’re looking for an experienced and talented communications professional to join our small but busy team.  Here at Hertsmere it’s an exciting time for us with new, resident-centred policies being shaped, involving wide-reaching engagement with our many communities.    

You’d need to be flexible and diplomatic but assertive, innovative and politically astute.  You’ll also be skilled and experienced at engaging with a range of audiences, both internally and externally, through different communication channels.   We’ve made great progress recently with developing our video content and other digital products so this needs to be part of your skill set, although further training and consultancy is available. 

The post is offered on a permanent, full time basis (36 hours per week).

If you would like an informal discussion about the role, please contact Cath Shepherd - Corporate Communications Manager, or Hilary Shade - Head of Service, on 020 8207 2277.

Benefits include 26 – 31 days annual leave (depending on the length of Local Government Service) plus one floating day per annum, local government pension scheme, flexible working hours (including the opportunity to take up to 2 days flexi leave per month), free car parking, free use of leisure facilities, cycle scheme and season ticket loans. 

We operate a hybrid working system where employees may work two days per week from home.

Closing date:  Monday 2^nd December, 10am
