About us
Salford is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK. We have ambitious regeneration plans and are committed to developing a vibrant city; one where citizens, partners and staff work together to improve the city. As a people centred and values-based organisation Salford really is a great place to work. With a positive permission culture and can-do approach, we embrace innovation and encourage performance. We currently have an exciting vacancy within our team for a dedicated and experienced  individual to undertake a Communities & Engagement Strategic Lead role to enable us to continue to build on our success and also bring new experience, knowledge and ideas into the team.

About you
Your style and approach will reflect our values: you will be passionate about what you do always striving to improve things; valuing and respecting others’ contribution, you will work to deliver a better service; you will enjoy taking personal responsibility to resolve issues and change what you do and how you do it to make a difference.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable individual with a proven ability to deliver proactive and coordinated communication and engagement activity to support the delivery of high-profile major infrastructure projects across the city.

You will be expected to adopt a flexible and problem-solving approach and be able to respond promptly to changing situations using personal initiative. You will also possess an understanding of community and stakeholder engagement best practice, and of the requirements related to public consultation.

Your natural leadership style will align with our #LeadingSalford leadership behaviour framework. In return, our development programme will help develop your skills, knowledge, and confidence as a leader to meet the expectations that we have of our Salford leaders.

About the role
The successful candidate will be responsible for leading, managing and negotiating with a range of internal and external stakeholders working with design engineers to establish appropriate project communications and project specific consultation and engagement approaches to support the delivery of high-profile infrastructure projects, alongside the city’s highway’s maintenance programme.

Salford City Council is an ambitious organization. We are working hard to build a brighter future for our city and its residents, and we need people from a wide range of backgrounds to continue delivering the best for and with our communities. Candidates should therefore be able to demonstrate a commitment to improving services. 

We have a clear set of values that outline how we do business and how we share these citywide with our residents, partners and businesses. You can view the values at www.salford.gov.uk/your-council/our-values
