"The UK Government has quietly posted a six-figure job ad not for a policy expert or border agent, but for a communications lead whose main mission is to make the public believe Labour is tackling immigration. Think: Less Border Force, more brand management. As per the job advert, which was posted two weeks ago on LinkedIn, the Deputy Director Migration Communications role is key to "keeping the streets safe and borders secure.""
"For up to $120,000 (£91,000) the candidate will be expected to help "the department to spot and mitigate risks and deliver attitude and behaviour change that ultimately supports the security and economic prosperity of the UK." The successful candidate will also see a generous employer contribution to their pension of 28.97%. But they'll need to come equipt with an ability to navigate crises, influence Ministers, and drive behaviour change across a highly complex, controversial, and high-stakes area of public service."
An advertised Deputy Director Migration Communications role focuses on persuading the public that Labour is tackling immigration and on 'keeping the streets safe and borders secure.' The post was listed on LinkedIn and offers up to $120,000 (£91,000) plus a 28.97% employer pension contribution. Responsibilities include spotting and mitigating risks, delivering attitude and behaviour change to support UK security and economic prosperity, navigating crises, influencing Ministers, and driving behaviour change across a complex and controversial public-service area. One key message for the role is that the government is reducing illegal immigration, including Channel crossings. Recent Channel crossings have risen sharply year-on-year.
