The  successful applicant will develop and deliver communications and marketing campaigns to promote the West of England Combined Authority with a focus on business support projects, programmes and initiatives delivered through the West of England Growth Hub.

A key part of the role will be promoting Workforce for the Future. Workforce for the Future is an £8m programme funded by the European Social Fund and matched by the Combined Authority which seeks to increase collaboration between business and education and develop a more cohesive and joined up skills system which supports Small and Medium Enterprises, SME’s, and their workforce to thrive, innovate and sustain growth in the region and beyond.

This is an exciting time to join the West of England Combined Authority. In the last year nearly three quarters of a billion pounds of new investment has been secured for the region. New plans are in place to deliver on Mayoral priorities to improve transport, skills and housing for our residents, take decisive action to tackle the climate emergency, and to support communities facing the cost-of-living crisis. There is a relentless focus on delivery to put the West of England on the map for regional, national and global success.

Led by the regional Metro Mayor, the West of England Combined Authority brings together three local councils, the Local Enterprise Partnership and works with communities, other public services, and industry to deliver for the region.

The Combined Authority is adopting a Hybrid working approach, which enables employees to split their week between working in the workplace and working remotely.
