Oxford is a wonderful city, and the City Council is working hard every day to make it even better. We’re going further and faster than any city in the UK to tackle the climate emergency; we’re spending £9m annually to tackle homelessness; we’re building hundreds of new homes for Oxford’s families and young people; and we’re fighting health and social inequality with millions of pounds of investment in grass‑roots community and leisure facilities.

Whether it’s encouraging Oxford residents to take part in consultations, inspiring them to help tackle the climate emergency, or raising awareness for how the City Council’s work is making a difference, we believe communications is key to everything we do.

You will have exceptional written and visual storytelling skills and a creative flair and will be able to employ a range of traditional, social and digital communications methods.

But, most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to help us make a difference for the people and city of Oxford.
