The Disused Tips Authority for Wales is being established as the national public body responsible for overseeing the safety, management and regulation of disused tips across Wales.

You will shape how the Authority communicates, engages and builds relationships, ensuring people understand our purpose, our decisions and the actions we take to keep communities safe. Your work will help create confidence through clear, transparent and consistent communication, particularly when discussing complex issues and risk.

Alongside leading all aspects of communications, engagement and stakeholder partnerships, you will be responsible for translating the Board's strategic vision into the Authority's Corporate Plan, ensuring our priorities are clearly articulated and aligned across the organisation.
