Website Content Officer

Oxford is a wonderful city, and Oxford City Council is working hard every day to make it even better. We’re going further and faster than any city in the UK to tackle the climate emergency; we’re building thousands of new homes for Oxford’s families and young people; and we’re fighting health and social inequality with millions of pounds of investment in grass-roots community and leisure facilities. Whether it’s helping Oxford residents to apply for cost-of-living support, encouraging them to take part in consultations, or inspiring them to help tackle the climate emergency, everything we do is increasingly underpinning by our website (oxford.gov.uk). We’re now looking for an experienced Website Content Officer to help us take the site to the next level. We’re looking for someone with exceptional organisational skills, acute attention to detail and a genuine love for writing clean copy and creating easy-to-follow user journeys. We’re also looking for someone who can build successful relationships with colleagues to help drive website improvements. But, most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to help us make a difference for the people and city of Oxford. The Website Content Officer will work within the Council’s Communications Team, but will work with teams across the organisation – particularly ICT – to carry out improvements to the website. About us Our ambitious leadership team and dedicated staff are working hard building a world class city for everyone.
