Description

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) brings together the local authorities of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield and the private sector.

These bodies together serve the communities and businesses of South Yorkshire. From transport to housing, from business growth to skills, the MCA has a great story to tell. We have ambitions to deliver economic growth and prosperity for people, businesses and places across South Yorkshire.

Are you an experienced press officer or a journalist looking for a new challenge?

We're seeking a talented communicator with a passion for storytelling and a keen interest in politics to join our team.

As Press Officer you will be a key member of our dynamic and busy Communications team, responding to and helping to shape the daily news agenda, and spotting opportunities for the Mayor and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) to make an impact.

You will advise colleagues and help raise the profile of Mayor and SYMCA, while informing the media, public and partners of the work we're doing to help make South Yorkshire a better place to live, work and do business.

We're looking for someone with experience working in a busy, fast-paced press office, agency or newsroom, used to balancing projects and working to tight deadlines.

Someone who can convey information in a clear and persuasive style while generating creative ideas for content and ways to communicate.

In return, we offer a competitive salary, hybrid working, access to a Local Government Pension Scheme and the chance to be part of an organisation where you can really make a difference.

Located in a vibrant city centre location, we are well-placed for transport links and encourage employees to take advantage of a range of benefits, including active travel facilities.

We believe in a healthy work/life balance.

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) brings together South Yorkshire's Mayor and the four local authorities of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.

With powers over transport, skills and economic growth, and with devolution on the national political agenda this is an exciting time to join SYMCA, and help make South Yorkshire a better place to live, work and invest.
