There has rarely been a more challenging or opportune time to work in local government communications. Seismic changes in the way local government is operating means that it is no longer sufficient to simply tell local people and others what the council is doing - we need to really engage and win peoples support for a shared vision for the local area.
Kingston council has created a new role of Head of Communications to work closely with the Senior Leadership Team and leading members to ensure that the council not only tells it's story but builds real engagement with residents, staff and key partners.
We are looking for someone who is fully conversant with the full range of communications tools from excellent media skills and campaigning ability to the latest digital techniques and innovative ideas on community engagement, but that just gets you to, first base.
To be successful in this role you will be a leader, bridge builder, strategist and true innovator.
Above all you will have an absolute passion for public service and it's ability to improve lives.
If this sounds like you and you ready for the challenge of building the best corporate communication service in local government we would like to hear from you.
