A unique opportunity has opened up in the heart of the community, as Overton Parish Council begins its search for a skilled and passionate communications professional to take the reins of its monthly publication, Overton News & Views, and social media output.
The newly advertised role of Parish Council Monthly Newsletter / Social Media Editor is being offered on a contract/self-employed basis, and the council is hoping to attract applicants who not only have a knack for storytelling and accuracy but also a genuine love for local life in Overton.
The successful candidate will be responsible for producing a high-quality newsletter that keeps residents informed about local council decisions, community initiatives, and upcoming events. Alongside the newsletter, the role also includes managing social media channels, bringing council news to a wider and more digitally engaged audience.
Applicants should be experienced in marketing communications, content creation, and editing. Attention to detail, an engaging writing style, and the ability to liaise with council members and local contributors are key requirements. Familiarity with the Overton area is also a must — residency within the parish is required for this community-based role.
The deadline for applications is May 6, 2025, and full details, including the job description, are available from the Parish Council office or their website.
