About the Role
This is a hands-on apprenticeship for someone who’s passionate about digital marketing and wants to make a difference while they learn. You’ll work alongside our Marketing Communications Manager to help plan, create and deliver campaigns across our social media channels, email platform and website — helping us raise awareness, grow our supporter base and generate vital fundraising income.
You could be working on anything from:
- Promoting a charity walk to hundreds of participants
- Writing copy for a fundraising email that lands in thousands of inboxes
- Creating content for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X that could tell the story of our hospice or just what new items are on our café menu
- Helping us grow our online presence through SEO and paid social
- Analysing campaign data and translating it into clear, useful insight
- Supporting the launch of events, appeals and community fundraising challenges
- Producing marketing materials that work across digital and printed formats
This is a development role, offering the opportunity to gain practical experience within a busy and varied marketing and communications function while working towards a recognised apprenticeship qualification. The role will support learning and progression, with guidance and mentoring provided throughout.
