About us

BVA is the largest membership community for the veterinary profession in the UK, we champion, support, and empower more than 19,000 vets of all ages, stages, and disciplines.

We’re making sure that our members' work is understood and valued by the public, that they’re supported to grow and thrive both personally and professionally, and that their expertise is heard and respected by the people shaping our national policies.

We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Officer to join our friendly and purpose-driven marketing and events team. If you’re a creative and proactive marketer with strong content creation skills, a flair for planning and delivering effective campaigns, and have hands-on experience of email marketing, this could be the perfect next step for you.

This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days look the same. One day you might be crafting digital content that brings our membership offer to life; the next, you’ll be supporting a targeted, insight-driven campaign to grow participation in the Canine Health Scheme.

In this role, you’ll support the tactical planning and delivery of multi-channel marketing campaigns designed to meet engagement, participation, and growth targets. You’ll bring ideas to life through high-quality content - capturing and editing photos and videos, creating eye-catching graphics, and shaping stories that champion BVA’s mission and impact. You’ll also take ownership of planning, writing, and building regular email campaigns, using segmentation, A/B testing, and automation to drive results.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, curious, and full of creative energy - someone who can juggle multiple projects while keeping a close eye on detail, deadlines, and performance. You’ll be confident using a range of digital tools and platforms, including social media, content management systems, design software, and analytics tools like GA4.

In return, we offer a supportive, collaborative environment where you can develop your skills, try new things, and contribute to meaningful work that supports the veterinary profession. If you're excited by the idea of creating content that inspires, campaigns that deliver impact, and digital experiences that truly resonate, we’d love to hear from you.

• Ensure access for everyone. There are over 1,600 miles of paths within the National Park. We’re working to fund high quality path repair, improve access for people with disabilities and help more people enjoy their right to roam.
• Protect our cultural heritage. The Peak District landscape has been shaped by people. We’re working to protect and conserve these irreplaceable heritage sites, from historic buildings and industrial structures to pre-historic features.

If you’re enthusiastic about making a difference and helping protect and promote the UK’s first National Park, we’d love to hear from you. We are open to individuals looking to transition from other sectors.
