It explained the main role was to communicate information targeted towards residents, businesses, councillors, media, staff, partners and other city stakeholders on the impacts of Brexit in Brighton & Hove

The ad said: “You should be able to demonstrate a blend of political insight and intelligence, strategic clarity of thinking and hold good influencing and collaboration skills.”

A council spokesperson said: “The main focus of our Brexit communications at the moment is on encouraging EU residents to stay in the city, ensuring they feel welcome and supported.
