At Lewisham Council we’re looking for a brilliant communications and engagement specialist to support our fostering recruitment and children’s social care teams.
You’ll be based in the Council’s corporate communications team and work closely with teams on the ground to plan and coordinate integrated marketing and recruitment campaigns to engage potential foster carers and help us to secure the best social work professionals in the businesses to work with our children and families.

You will have hands on knowledge of the best ways to reach target audiences, from social media to written communications and media relations, using storytelling to get our message across.
This role is both strategic and operational. For example, you’ll lead the development of strategic marketing plans and be expected to brief senior colleagues, as well as produce communications materials and lead engagement events.
A job well done will see key stakeholders positively engaged; high levels of awareness among our residents and an increase in the number of applications to be a foster carer or work as a social worker in Lewisham.
