This role is part of the Stakeholder Engagement team that works across the whole directorate to improve participation and communications both internally and externally.

This is a hands-on role, and every day will be different, so if you enjoy the buzz of working with a multiskilled team, this role will suit you well. If you have experience of the following activities, then please apply:

• driving meaningful engagement to meet equality objectives across multiple channels
• working closely in partnership with a variety of stakeholder groups
• producing clear, concise communications for a range of audiences
• facilitating public participation workshops.
