Job description

Starting salary is £26,310 per annum

We’re looking for an experienced Marketing Officer to join our in-house creative team, working on fun, varied projects across our college campuses.

You’ll plan and deliver marketing activity across digital, social, web, email and print, helping to promote courses, events and college life. The role involves creating engaging content, keeping websites and social media channels up to date, supporting recruitment and engagement campaigns, and working closely with curriculum teams to bring their stories and priorities to life.

You’ll work as part of a collaborative, creative team that includes videographers, graphic designers, in house print, marketing specialists and an events team. Projects are fast paced and varied, with regular opportunities to share ideas, support major events and collaborate on campaigns.

This role is ideal for someone who already has experience working in marketing and is confident managing multiple projects and deadlines. While we take our work seriously, the team itself is friendly, collaborative and creative, whether that’s developing campaign ideas together or jumping into the occasional TikTok.
