Job Introduction
The West of England Combined Authority is seeking to appoint a Mayoral Correspondence Officer to join the Mayor’s Office team.
This role will be responsible for the coordination of responses to correspondence received by the Metro Mayor. You will manage a large and varied range of correspondence, assessing the information needed to respond to individual enquiries and working with officers across the organisation to draft responses.
The post holder will need to have attention to detail, be well organised and be able to establish relationships with staff right across the organisation in order to bring together the right information to draft replies to public enquiries. The post holder will review and deliver improvements to the current correspondence management process and will ensure enquiries from the public are responded to promptly and accurately. As well as coordinating responses from officers across the Combined Authority, the role holder will also lead on drafting responses to some enquiries.
You will also need to be confident in supporting the Mayor’s visits and engagements, ensuring that appropriate preparations are put in place to help these run smoothly.
This will be diverse and busy role. No two days will be the same and you will need to be responsive to supporting the diverse range of responsibilities of the Metro Mayor.
