This role at Relate - Family Action

Relate at Family Action is here to promote safe, supportive relationships for all and support everyone to strengthen the relationships that mean the most to them.

For over 150 years Family Action has seen first-hand the power of family to shape lives, for better and worse. That's why we speak up for the importance of family in national and local policymaking, amplify family voices and represent the changing needs of families in the UK today. Whatever family means or looks like to us, ultimately, it's relationships that matter – and the quality of our relationships affects the quality of all our lives.  

This is a pivotal role responsible for crafting and executing strategies and campaigns that promote both the Relate brand image and overall marketing efforts to support the achievement of sales targets across a range of counselling services (both B2C and B2B), training products, charity retail outlets and other income streams.
