Do you have the skills to inform and engage people in Kent about the social care and wellbeing support they can access to empower themselves or other they care for? Can you listen to others, put yourself in someone's shoes and create effective, clear, jargon-free digital communications? Can you help to make a difference and put people at the centre of what you do? If this describes you, then you could be the person we are looking for. We are looking for a communication all-rounder, someone as comfortable writing and editing as they are working with content management systems to create web pages, embed charts, images and publish other content. You will need a good eye for design, enabling you to create engaging and shareable graphics and link in with key colleagues across the directorate and wider community to increase reach and effectiveness of the digital platforms you will cover. We are seeking a dedicated digital communication professional to work on the various aspects of our 'digital front door'. This role will be part of the 'Involvement and Information Team' that works across the whole Adult Social Care and Health directorate to improve participation and communication, both internally and externally. However, the role will have the opportunity to work with multiple stakeholders across the department and link in with the council's wider digital services team. The successful applicant will maintain the integrity and accuracy of the content of our social care digital resources and applications. As well as the day-to-day maintenance and oversight of our suite of digital resources, this is a hands-on role and is part of our Innovation and Partnerships Division. If you enjoy the buzz of working with a multi-skilled programme team both virtually and in-person, this role will suit you well. Watch our short video about the Innovation and Partnerships division.

* driving engagement to meet equality, diversity and inclusion objectives across multiple channels
