Job Information:

It’s an exciting time to take on this refreshed role as Digital Marketing Manager at Hospice UK. After significant investment in our digital infrastructure and an overhaul of our communications strategy in recent years, we’re looking for someone to take our digital offering and supporter engagement to the next level.

Line managing a team of two, and with shared oversight of the organisation’s brand, this role leads the delivery of key digital marketing products in the organisation, including our Dying Matters campaign. It’s an influential and visible role within the organisation, and has the great privilege of overseeing the telling of deeply moving human stories of grief and compassion at the end of life.

The Digital Marketing Manager is responsible for creating a rich and varied online experience for Hospice UK’s supporters. Overseeing our digital marketing and content strategies, you will work with powerful personal stories of hospice care, loss and grief. Your goal is to use these to inspire our public audiences to get behind our mission to make sure end of life care is there for everyone who needs it.

You’ll be a key member of our External Affairs directorate, and you’ll manage our digital content and marketing team, leading the delivery of key campaign and marketing content and products. The team is currently made up of three people. You’ll have a sophisticated understanding of how to get our audiences’ attention through effective use of tools including Meta Business, Google search and email marketing.

We recognise that search engine optimisation (SEO) and user experience are both critical to achieving our business objectives. You’ll lead on planning content that is SEO-optimised to get us appearing in front of as many people as possible, and structured in a way that gives users a top-class online experience.

Our social media channels have undergone a transformation since our brand refresh in May 2024, and are now engaging our supporter base – and those new to hospice care – in a highly effective way. You’ll lead the team that plans and produces content for both our member and supporter-facing social channels, finding new and engaging ways to keep growing our social presence.

We’ve made great strides over the past 18 months in working much more effectively with our Income Generation directorate across appeals, organic social media and paid social marketing campaigns. You’ll be a key part of the continuation and development of our work here, sourcing stories and content that further develops our success in these spaces.

With a highly motivated Membership Engagement team in place to strengthen our position as a membership body with the UK’s 200+ hospices, you’ll collaborate with this team to identify opportunities to work with our members for things like photography and filming, social media, and other campaign-related content.

You’ll have a key input into the delivery of content for Hospice UK’s flagship campaigns including Dying Matters and Hospice Care Week. With shared responsibility for brand development and guardianship, the role has significant visibility across the organisation, requiring strong relationship, motivation and influencing skills.

This is a reshaped role which comes at an exciting and important time in Hospice UK’s digital evolution. We’ve significantly invested in our digital footprint and infrastructure in recent years, with a new website and CRM, and a recently completed digital fundraising and social media strategy review now ready for implementation. As we develop a new organisational strategy, you’ll lead the development of new, audience-led and integrated ways to recruit, engage and mobilise our supporters online. 

We know that more and more people care about and are motivated by making sure everyone who needs it gets brilliant care when they die, and that family and friends are well supported too. The exciting challenge of this role is to harness that public interest to help drive Hospice UK’s work forward.

Would you like to be inspired every day in a highly rewarding role? Whether it’s the veterans and family members we support, your colleagues or the partners we collaborate with, you will be working with an exceptional group of people.

At the Poppy Factory, we help Armed Forces veterans with barriers to employment and their adult family members to find meaningful and sustainable employment after service. This often means overcoming significant barriers such as health conditions, criminal records, substance misuse, and homelessness, on their journey to employment. Our aim is to empower veterans, help them to recognise their unique skills and give them the confidence and motivation to move forwards in their careers.

As a Services Manager, you'll play a key leadership role in shaping, delivering and expanding our support services. You'll oversee a team of up to eight passionate team members, helping them deliver personalised, high-quality support to veterans and their families. You'll also lead outreach and engagement in your region, building awareness of our services and ensuring we reach those who need us most.

You'll be joining a values-driven, supportive team that works collaboratively to achieve life-changing outcomes.

What we're looking for

• A collaborative mindset: You will thrive working as part of a team with colleagues based across the UK who support each other in what can sometimes be a challenging role. You enjoy building strong partnerships, and work effectively with colleagues and external organisations to enhance the services we offer to veterans and the Armed Forces community.

• Motivation and commitment: You understand that supporting people facing complex challenges can be demanding - and you're ready to bring the energy, empathy and resilience needed to support your team to succeed. 

• Adaptability: This is a hugely varied role and no two days are the same. You will often need to balance competing priorities or quickly shift focus depending on the needs of the people you will be supporting. Balancing operational needs with strategic thinking can present a challenge that you will be confident you can overcome.

• An empowering approach: You believe in people and their potential. Whether supervising your team or developing services, your goal is to support others to grow, achieve and thrive.

Why should you apply?

• A chance to make a lasting impact: Your work will help veterans and their families move forward in life with confidence and dignity.

• Competitive salary and benefits including generous holiday and pension contributions.

• A welcoming and empowering culture, with regular opportunities for team connecting and shared learning throughout the year.

• Flexibility and variety: a mix of travelling in your area, home working and regular visits to the historic Poppy Factory in Richmond, London

• Autonomy and influence: The opportunity to shape your region, build meaningful partnerships, and develop services that meet real needs.

• Be part of an iconic charity with over a century of history supporting the Armed Forces community.
