Our new Change Delivery service is growing – and we’re looking for a talented Communications & Engagement Officer to help us bring our transformation story to life.

You’ll work closely with our Organisational Development & Culture Lead to craft compelling internal communications and meaningful engagement strategies that support Nottingham City Council’s Improvement Plan and cultural change journey.

You’ll also lead campaigns, create engaging content for our internal platforms, and support teams across the Council to communicate clearly, consistently, and inclusively.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead internal campaigns that bring our transformation programmes and cultural ambitions to life
• Write and publish content for channels including the intranet, staff newsletters, and internal social media

• Work closely with teams across the organisation to identify and share success stories
• Support managers and leaders to communicate effectively with their teams about change
• Analyse feedback and engagement data to understand what’s landing and where we can do better
• Champion inclusive, evidence-led approaches to communications and engagement
• Stay ahead of best practice and test new ways to reach and inspire staff
