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).

- 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.
