Media Relations Manager £54,267 £57,402 per annum

 Join Us as Media Relations Manager – Help Tell Newham’s Story&nbsp;

 Newham isn’t just any borough – it’s one of the most exciting, best-connected, and diverse places in the world’s greatest city. We’re growing fast and shaping the future. From delivering new council homes to welcoming major institutions like UCL, London College of Fashion, V&amp;A East, and the soon-to-arrive Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets at the Royal Docks – this is a borough on the move.&nbsp;

 We’re looking for someone who can help us share this incredible story with the world.&nbsp;

 As Media Relations Manager in our newly restructured Communications team, you’ll play a pivotal role in protecting, building, and enhancing Newham Council’s reputation. You’ll provide strategic communications advice to senior leaders, manage proactive and reactive media relations, and be the go-to person for handling complex, high-profile issues.&nbsp;

 This is a fast-paced, challenging role in a borough that never stands still. You’ll need:&nbsp;

 <ul><li>Outstanding communication skills and a sharp news sense.&nbsp;</li> </ul>

 <ul><li>Excellent judgment under pressure – and the ability to keep a cool head when it matters most.&nbsp;</li> </ul>

 <ul><li>A willingness to work flexibly – this isn’t a 9-to-5 job. You’ll spend at least two days a week in our London office, travel occasionally, and take part in our out-of-hours emergency planning rota.&nbsp;</li> </ul>

 If you’re ready to make an impact and help shape the narrative of one of London’s most dynamic boroughs, we’d love to hear from you.&nbsp;
