Lack of or insufficient communication is consistently one of the biggest concerns from our customers and the impact can be considerable on the reputation of the Service. The complexities of our own works programmes and those of other stakeholders mean that managing and communicating the information in a quality format can be very challenging.
Orbis is a shared services partnership between Surrey County Council, East Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council. Overall, the councils spend around £1.6bn with external suppliers for everything from software to social care services and from cleaning products to sports equipment. We have a large Procurement Service which supports customers to deliver better value from our contracts and ensures we source our contracts in an open, fair and transparent way.
Based within the Orbis Procurement Team, this is an important role supporting the provision of a high standard of targeted communications.
In this role you will be expected to produce and publish communications with our colleagues, customers and stakeholders both in advance of projects commencing, during and after their conclusion using the most appropriate mediums available. This requires you to liaise, work collaboratively, and maintain effective relationships with colleagues, customers and partner organisations.
We are looking for people who are enthusiastic, proactive and motivated team players who can provide an excellent service.
To be shortlisted for an interview please upload your CV and a personal statement to clearly evidence the following:

Remote Working
We are proud of our agile working culture, including providing the technology to support remote working (such as light laptops and phones) where the role allows. Your work is likely to span each of the Orbis Authorities and whilst our offices are open for you to use as you need to, outside of any necessary face to face meetings we are happy for you to work where you are happiest and most productive. We do anticipate though that as our programme of works develop, you would be expected to attend an office location once or twice per week on average.
