You will be responsible for providing high level administrative support to our Director of Communications, giving you the chance to experience the full range of services provided by the LGA’s communications team.
You will also have the opportunity to work with senior communications professionals from across local government by helping our Communications Improvement team to deliver their programme of communications reviews.
If you are interested in working in a busy communications directorate and want to be at the centre of some of our most important work then we want to hear from you.
Your main duties will include:
• Supporting the Director of Communications with specific requests as tasked, including diary and travel management, meeting preparation and expenses.

You will need to have excellent organisational skills, a positive ‘can do’ attitude and an enthusiasm for great communication. You will be also comfortable juggling different priorities and working with a range of different stakeholders.
Experience of local government/public services would be an advantage.
