A key role within the team, you will help deliver a wide range of communications and marketing activities as well provide administrative and clerical assistance.

With your excellent organisation skills, you’ll help to create, manage, and develop effective campaigns, and prepare, organise and manage events throughout the year.
We’re looking for someone who has previously worked in a busy team and has a keen eye for detail. On the administrative side, you’ll support the team with general project tasks which will include ordering promotional items for events, preparing briefing information for departments and managing the supply of marketing material.

A CIM qualification or equivalent is desirable but not essential.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
