About Strike Group

Strike Group is an Essex-based sports and education company on a mission to get more young people active, engaged, and supported — in the classroom, on the pitch, and in the community. Across all three strands, we are growing fast — with new venues, services, and partnerships — and we need someone who can help us tell our story.

Three Connected Strands

• Strike Camps: Our holiday activity camps running across multiple Essex and East of England venues (including HAF-funded programmes providing free places to children from lower-income families), delivering multi-activity sport, football camps, and themed days throughout the school holidays.
• Strike Education: Our in‑school sports coaching and mentorship offer, working within mainstream and specialist schools (including SEND and SEMH settings) to deliver PE, coaching, and pastoral sports mentorship.
• SA Foundation: Our charitable arm, extending Strike Group's mission of using sport to create opportunity for young people who face barriers to participation.

Key Responsibilities

• Capture photo and video content at Strike Camps sessions, Strike Education coaching visits, and SA Foundation activities.
• Edit and produce short‑form video and imagery for social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook).
• Write engaging copy for social posts, newsletters, and website updates.
• Support the planning and delivery of seasonal marketing campaigns (e.g., half‑term camp launches, new venue openings).
• Help schedule and publish content across social channels.
• Assist with email marketing and parent/school communications.
• Track and report on basic campaign performance (reach, engagement, bookings).
• Produce marketing and outreach materials to support SA Foundation's work with schools, funders, and community partners.
• Help maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity across Strike Camps, Strike Education, and SA Foundation.
• Support the wider team with ad hoc marketing and administrative tasks as the business grows.

What We're Looking For

• A genuine interest in content creation, social media, and storytelling.
• Comfortable being active and hands‑on during on‑site sessions at camps and in schools.
• Enthusiastic, reliable, and comfortable working within a small, fast‑moving team.
• No prior experience required — we are looking for potential and a positive attitude.
• Full training and mentoring will be provided.

What You'll Gain

• A paid role (minimum 30 hours/week) with a portfolio of hands‑on content and campaign work.
• A nationally recognised Level 3 apprenticeship qualification, plus Google Analytics and HubSpot certifications.
• Dedicated 1-to-1 support from a Lifetime Learning Coach throughout the programme.
• Wraparound pastoral support and mentoring, including access to Coach Core's graduate network and Matchroom's sporting events network.
• Genuine progression opportunities within a growing business.
