Welcome to Sheffield City Council

Sheffield is a City with a marvellous story to tell, and I’m delighted that you are interested in these two key roles spanning strategy and communications. My job as COO is to assemble the very best specialist team, each of whom will bring their complementary skillsets and experience to making us the very best organisation we can be. And these two positions, which will work closely with me, Kate our CEO, senior members and the strategic leadership team, will be pivotal to achieving our full potential.

Your contribution will help Sheffield shine brighter. Together, we’ll shape strategies for the council and in partnership, we’ll set out a compelling narrative, and then make sure it reaches all the right audiences. Between us, we’ll make sure Sheffield’s unique voice is heard in the conversations we should be part of, as well as delivering award-worthy strategic external campaigns, engaging internal communications, and deftly responsive tactical activity. Our strategy and policy work will help us to contribute to the sector and nationally, always focused on making a difference to the people we serve.  

We’re looking for candidates with an exceptional track record and practical experience of working in every medium. You’ll have great drafting and conceptual skills, lots of ideas, and will be respected as outstanding professionals by your colleagues. In return, you’ll receive rewarding work, plenty of support in a friendly and collegiate atmosphere, and the training and mentoring that helps you reach your goals and potential.

We look forward to meeting you.
