Change Communications Officer

Are you ready to take your passion for storytelling and eye-catching communications to the next level? Salford City Council is seeking a talented communications expert for a significant role within the team. We’re a dynamic city of sustained growth and strong leadership and an authority with a focus on investing in its people to deliver the best services to residents and communities. You’ll be supported by an energetic, creative team, backed by a ‘can-do’ attitude and opportunity to make your mark.

Salford’s story is a combination of continued economic growth, decisive leadership and partnership working that has transformed our city into a thriving cultural, economic, and residential location. As a result, more people than ever before are choosing Salford as a place to live, work, invest and visit, and Salford is being rebuilt.

We are looking for a passionate professional to help us tell our story internally, with partners, residents and media.

As Change Communications Officer for Salford City Council you will support the strategic communication of organisation-wide priority transformation and change projects, including the in-sourcing of approximately 1,000 employees from three organisations.

You will report to and support the Senior Change Communications Officer in delivering a change communications strategy and plans to ensure that complex transformation programmes are clearly understood, embraced and successfully implemented on time, with people at its centre, and aligned to the council’s priorities, culture and values.

You will support the effective delivery of inclusive, purposeful communication using a blend of channels, face-to-face engagement and creative storytelling to reach people working in desk-based, frontline and essential service roles.

You will support services across the council and partner organisations to ensure current and future colleagues understand key decisions, feel part of a shared mission, and have the information they need to deliver for Salford’s residents.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of new and transformational work within the organisation that will shape the future direction and work of the council.
