Job Description

As the Marketing & Communications Officer, you will be the driving force behind the day-to-day delivery of our marketing and communications activity.

Ultimately, you will play a critical role in shaping how people see, experience and remember Cambridge Science Centre. We're looking for someone who is curious, creative and eager to learn; someone who enjoys contributing ideas, takes pride in delivering high-quality work, and is excited to grow their skills as part of a small but influential team.

Citizens UK 

Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.

This role will also work closely alongside the Living Wage Foundation communications function. The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011. Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 475,000 people and winning over £4bn of better wages for people who need it most. 

Purpose 

At Citizens UK, our staff work within communities to develop leaders, strengthen organisations, campaign for change and organise across difference. There are various project roles and operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction.

Mindfulness and nature retreat centre needs a (mindful) Marketing & Comms Manager!

Salary is £38,025 pro rata for 3 or 4 days per week (22.5hrs to 30hrs pw, £22,815 - £30,420) 

We need a skilled, creative, enthusiastic marketeer, with proven digital marketing experience, to take the Trust’s marketing and communications to the next level.

We are a registered charity caring for the historic Grade I-listed Sharpham House and Estate on the banks of the River Dart near to Totnes.

At the heart of the Sharpham Trust ethos is our desire to build a more mindful, compassionate and environmentally sustainable world. We connect over 3,000 people annually with nature and foster mindfulness and well-being through our programme of retreats, mindfulness courses, public events, outdoor learning and the arts.

In recent years the Trust has greatly expanded its activities, integrating and increasing the scope of our work. Our estate now embraces various retreat centres, operating all year round, together with online offers, serving a wide range of audiences and interests. 

Our marketing and communications are founded upon a desire to build lasting authentic relationships with our participants and to expand the range and number of people we engage. 

Over the last two years we have been reviewing our marketing and communications and increased the staffing resources dedicated to this area. We have worked with an external consultant and we are currently introducing a new Customer Relationship Management System (Zoho CRM), so that we are better able to understand our users and tailor our communications to be effective. 

The Marketing and Communications Manager will line manage the Communications Officer and be supported by colleagues across the Trust who are responsible for: programming, finance, bookings, health and safety, property management, gardening and catering. 

This is not a fully remote working role because we need the successful candidate to attend Sharpham at least part of each week so they can interact with colleagues. 

All staff benefit from being part of the community at The Trust, an organisation which is working to create a more mindful, compassionate and sustainable world. Set in a beautiful landscape, with a warm and friendly team, a track record of success and an imaginative approach to the future, there can be few better environments to work in than at Sharpham. 

About you 

This is a role for someone who can see the bigger picture and is able to prioritise the best use of our resources by creating effective strategies to target, engage and develop specific audiences. 

To do this you will need to be confident in the digital realm, with an understanding of proven digital marketing techniques and experience with using customer data to tailor marketing priorities. 

You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to work on your own initiative, as part of a collaborative team. 

Most of all you will have a passion for communicating with people and be able to manage multiple priorities and always achieve high standards.

The Marketing Projects & Partnerships Lead will play a pivotal role within the Bikeability Trust's Strategy team, supporting both the Marketing & Communications team and Fundraising team to achieve their 5-year strategic goals – namely income generation and dynamic behavioural change programmes.

This is a project management focused marketing role, spanning marketing project delivery, partnership activation, and stakeholder engagement. The role requires an exceptionally organised individual who can manage and prioritise multiple concurrent projects, ensuring activity is planned, aligned, and delivered on time. 

You will be responsible for keeping complex workstreams moving—coordinating internal teams and external partners—while bringing a solid understanding of marketing channels and approaches to support effective delivery.
