Senior Communications Officer (LGR)
Fixed Term Contract (2 years)
37 hours a week
Salary £38,142 per annum (Band 6)

Do you want to make a difference?
Here at Eastleigh Borough Council we are committed to making a positive difference for all the residents, businesses and visitors to Eastleigh and we are proud to be delivering on our promise to create sustainable and healthy communities and increase employment and wellbeing opportunities for all.

Eastleigh Borough Council is looking for a Senior Communications Officer to help lead our staff and programme communications for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).

LGR will reshape how councils are organised across Hampshire. For Eastleigh, this means clear, timely and trusted communication has never been more important.

About the role
You will lead and deliver internal LGR communications for the Council. You will make complex updates simple. You will support managers to brief their teams with confidence. You will help staff feel informed, listened to and supported through change. This role will help make sure staff, residents and partners hear clear and consistent updates across council boundaries.

Your duties will include:

Running a clear rhythm of staff updates, briefings and intranet content

Keeping the staff LGR hub up to date as the main “single source of truth”

Writing plain English explainers, FAQs, manager packs and staff messages

Supporting LGR workstreams with simple, practical communications plans

Working with HR and Legal on clear and accurate workforce messages

Planning staff Q&A sessions and “you asked, we answered” updates

Reaching non-desk colleagues through printed updates, huddles and briefings

Tracking questions, themes, rumours and feedback

Working with partner councils on shared lines, joint FAQs and aligned timelines

Helping EBC play a constructive role in the delivery of future local government arrangements

Work with the Corporate Communications Manager, Head of Communications and Marketing, LGR programme team, HR, Legal, senior leaders, managers and partner council communications teams.

About you
We are looking for someone who can bring calm, clarity and pace to a complex programme. You will be organised, proactive and able to manage several priorities at once. You will be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where some answers are not yet known.
Most of all, you will understand that good communication during change is about trust. That means being factual, clear, honest about what is still uncertain, and focused on people.

Skills & Experience:

Strong experience in internal communications or employee engagement

Experience of change or transformation communications

Excellent writing skills and the ability to explain complex issues simply

Confidence advising senior colleagues and programme leads

Good judgement on tone, timing, risk and message discipline

Experience producing manager toolkits, FAQs, briefings and staff updates

A collaborative approach, especially when working across organisations

A clear understanding of staff listening, feedback loops and rumour control

A commitment to accessible and inclusive communication

About us
In return you will be working with a great team in an organisation that is truly committed to a flexible, inclusive and enjoyable work environment. We are passionate about personal and professional development for all staff, offering exceptional conditions of employment as an accredited Living Wage Employer, plus the chance to make a lasting difference to the community of Eastleigh.

This is a rare chance to play a key role in one of the biggest changes to local government in Hampshire for many years.

Our benefits include

26- 29 days annual leave (dependant on local government continuous service)

Flexible working arrangements and ability to accrue up to 2 days additional leave per month (subject to operational requirements – pro rata for part time staff)

Defined Benefit Pension Scheme

Places Leisure, Eastleigh – 30% off Full Membership

Confidential Employee Advice and Support Programme

Excellent town centre working environment close to public transport links

Discounted parking

How to apply
Please include your CV and a supporting statement with your application.

Your supporting statement should tell us how your skills and experience meet the role. We are particularly interested in examples of:

Internal communications during change

Working with senior leaders and managers

Writing clear updates on complex issues

Working with partners or across organisations

Using feedback and insight to improve communication

If you have the skills, experience and motivation we are looking for, we would love to hear from you.

For an informal discussion about the role, please contact [email protected].
