Hampshire County Council has a strong reputation for delivering high-performing essential services to our 1.4 million residents and engaging efficiently and effectively with the people of Hampshire, our staff, partners and stakeholders, the news media and more.
As a Communications Advisor, you’ll lead, advise on and deliver a range of comprehensive communications activities and strategies, to promote the County Council’s reputation and meet corporate, directorate and service objectives.
Using your outstanding written and digital communication skills, you will be highly skilled in creating and implementing high-quality, engaging communications strategies and materials – which maximise the use of digital and social channels to positively engage a wide range of internal and external audiences and deliver excellent results.
You’ll have proven experience of proactively identifying communications priorities, and the ability to communicate them clearly and succinctly - evidencing their positive impact, every step of the way.
As a confident and strong self-starter, you will demonstrate a positive, proactive approach, together with high levels of pragmatism and resilience.
With new and innovative ways of thinking, you’ll enjoy finding effective and creative solutions to complex communications challenges, while getting involved in the detail and demonstrating a real understanding of the issues involved.
A strong team player with proven relationship management skills, you’ll be comfortable operating at all levels of seniority including with Directors, heads of service, managers, Councillors, key stakeholders and partners.
You may be required to visit other locations within Hampshire, and therefore need to have the ability to travel, as necessary.
