Assistant Director Communications

Ealing is one of London's most dynamic and diverse boroughs, home to vibrant towns, strong communities and major regeneration opportunities. We are ambitious for our residents and committed to becoming a council that is modern, preventative, neighbourhood-focused and trusted.

We are looking for an exceptional Assistant Director of Communications to shape how the council presents itself to the world. This is a critical strategic leadership role, working directly with the Leader, Cabinet and Strategic Leadership Team to build confidence in the council, strengthen civic pride and ensure residents have the information, voice and influence they need.

You will lead a modern, proactive communications service that understands our communities, tells compelling stories about the council and borough, anticipates reputational risks and delivers high-impact campaigns that make a real difference to people's lives. You will oversee our media, digital channels, brand, campaigns and public engagement functions, ensuring the council speaks with one clear, confident and inclusive voice.

We're looking for a strategic thinker, a trusted adviser, a brilliant communicator and a leader who brings creativity, resilience and political acumen. You will have experience operating in a complex, high-profile environment and the ability to inspire multi-disciplinary teams to do their best work.

Equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging is integral in our organisation and our borough. Our aim is to broaden diversity in senior roles, and we particularly welcome applications from people who represent the diversity of people and communities in the borough. We value humanity, humour, camaraderie, learning and risk-taking as much as excellence. We are seeking a leader who will guide teams with care and bravery, opening up space for challenging conversations and rigorously advancing equity in our work and ways of being. Someone who pushes us to be better at showing up for one another and for our mission of reimagining local government so that it works for everyone.

The successful candidate will be joining a talented and cohesive management team, will lead a department of top-quality professionals, and will be joining an organisation with an appetite for innovation and continuous improvement.

If you want to help shape the future of one of London's most exciting boroughs-and play a vital role in strengthening public trust and confidence-we'd love to hear from you.

If you would like an informal conversation about this exciting role or more information about Ealing, please email and we will arrange for this to happen.

To apply

To apply, please submit your CV along with a Supporting Statement addressing how your skills, knowledge and experience meet the essential criteria on the person specification. Your CV should be tailored and include detail of your education, qualifications, full employment history, and membership of professional bodies.

Please aim to keep your CV and supporting statement to two pages each and include your name at the top of both documents on all pages used.

Closing date: 11.59pm on Thursday 8th January 2026.

This role is subject to Ealing Council's Enhanced Vetting clearance process.

You must have the right to work in the UK. Evidence for the right to work in the UK will be requested at the interview stage.
