• The postholder will work closely with Councillors and the Parish Clerk to ensure that an annual communications strategy is agreed with a detailed delivery plan underpinning it. The plan would encompass the range of communications channels. The role holder would be responsible for ensuring that the plan is implemented, drawing in Councillors and other officers as needed.

In preparation for the opening (due summer 2027) as part of ongoing use of the facility, a full marketing plan will need to be developed and implemented.
