As Communications Executive – Campaigns and Digital, you will play a pivotal role in promoting Huntingdonshire District Council’s projects, policies and services through creative and targeted communications. You’ll lead the planning and delivery of external campaigns aligned with the Corporate Plan, focusing on behaviour change and enhancing the council’s reputation.
You will create and publish high-quality, engaging content across digital channels, ensuring communications are accessible, consistent and impactful. Advising and supporting colleagues in the use of social media, you’ll help them produce effective content and manage interactions appropriately.

About you
You’re a creative communicator who loves making a difference. You know how to turn complex ideas into clear, engaging messages that really connect with people - whether that’s through a clever social post, a well-crafted campaign or a quick response to a resident’s question.
You’re comfortable juggling multiple projects and deadlines, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. You’re organised, adaptable and always ready to pitch in and support your team. You enjoy working with others, building relationships across the organisation and collaborating to get the best results.
You bring strong writing and verbal skills, a keen eye for detail and a genuine enthusiasm for public service. You’re proactive, open to new ideas and not afraid to try something different if it means better outcomes. Most importantly, you care about making a positive impact for your community and you’re proud to represent the council’s values in everything you do.
If you’re looking for a role where your creativity and drive will help shape how people connect with their council, we’d love to hear from you.
