No two days are ever the same working for our council – we’re providing services for one of the
fastest growing cities in the country, an explosion of growth is taking place, our communities are
diverse and home to people from a variety of different countries and we’ve recently agreed a new
Corporate Strategy which aims to improve the lives of everyone who lives and works in the city.

There has never been a better time to work for our council, which presents a great opportunity for a budding communications professional to make their mark and to make a difference.

An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen within our Communications team for a Public Relations and Communications Assistant Apprentice on a 3-year fixed term contract.

As a Public Relations and Communications Assistant Apprentice you will get to be part of a thriving, Local Government communications team and be hands-on with the creation of internal communications, member updates, press release writing, website updates, video creation and social media, as well as gaining a qualification. You will work closely with staff across the team who bring a wealth of experience and can offer guidance and support.

We offer flexible working and on office days you will be based in our new offices at Sand Martin House in the centre of Peterborough. Working for the council also comes with a number of benefits including an attractive pension scheme, flexible working to support those with commitments outside of work, a number of staff discounts and benefits on our new online system and the chance to complete up to two days every year on volunteering projects which benefit the city.
