• Building and maintaining a strong retail presence on digital channels.

• Marketing house clearances, furniture collections and new shop launches.

• Supporting volunteer and staff recruitment through compelling storytelling and employer brand content.

• Monitoring campaign performance and reporting on key metrics, using insight to refine and improve activity.

What we’re looking for:

• A background in marketing, communications or PR.

• Strong creative skills - you can write, design and produce quality content.

• Excellent project management and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• A collaborative, relationship-driven approach.

• Ideally, experience in retail, charity or income generation marketing (though not essential).
