Creative brand manager jobs

Care workers give everything to the people they support. When life gets hard, The Care Workers' Charity is there for them - providing grants, mental health support, and a community that has their back.

We're a small, passionate team and we're growing. We're looking for a Marketing and Events Officer who's creative, organised, and ready to make their work mean something.

This is a genuinely varied role. One day you might be crafting a social media campaign, the next you're coordinating our presence at a national sector conference. You'll create content, manage our channels, write newsletters and press releases, produce video case studies, and help run events that raise both awareness and funds. You'll work closely with our Marketing and Events Manager and have real ownership over your work.

We're not looking for someone who just wants to tick boxes. We want someone who's curious, takes initiative, and cares about doing things well. Experience in the charity sector is helpful but not essential - what matters more is that you bring solid digital and content skills, a head for logistics, and genuine enthusiasm for the cause.

In return, you'll get a home-based role with flexible working, 33 days annual leave including bank holidays, a working from home allowance, and access to an Employee Assistance Programme. Most importantly, you'll be part of a team that genuinely cares about what it does.

Based in England with easy rail access to London. Some travel to events and meetings required.

This is an exciting moment to join Book Aid International in a newly created role dedicated to digital marketing, with the opportunity to shape how we connect with our audiences and grow our impact.

The postholder will lead on:

· Social media, email marketing, SEO, website management and paid advertising

· Digital fundraising campaigns and supporter journeys

· Data, analytics and optimisation across all digital channels

· Integrated campaigns in close collaboration with the Brand Manager and Individual Giving Manager

We are looking for someone with proven digital marketing experience, strong analytical skills and a data-informed approach, experience of digital fundraising or the charity sector, excellent copywriting skills and an eye for engaging content, and knowledge of GDPR as it applies to digital marketing.
