There are three teams in communications and participation: corporate communications and planning; campaigns and content; and partnership communications and co-production.
This role involves processing and distribution of sensitive information and working with political stakeholders and the media.

While the postholder may belong to a political party, they must not have an active political role either in or outside the workplace; they should not hold or stand for an elected political office; publicly express support for a political party or be an officer for a political party.
