Digital marketing jobs in epping forest, essex

Anna Freud is a world-leading mental health charity for children, young people and their families. Our purpose is to take everything that we have learned over the last 70 years, and to transform the mental health of current and future generations of children and young people, to close the gap between mental illness and mental wellness – and to create a more compassionate society for everyone. We listen to and learn from their diverse voices and integrate this with learnings from our science and practice to develop and deliver mental health care. We are now seeking a Commercial Director to join our team at an exciting point in our journey as a charity.

Over the past decade, Anna Freud has grown significantly in scope, influence, and impact. From our origins as a pioneering centre for child psychotherapy, we are now a national mental health charity with a unique blend of research, clinical practice, schools support, and workforce development – all underpinned by a commitment to evidence, collaboration, and lived experience.

We are proud of what we’ve achieved, but we also recognise that the scale of need among children, young people, and families continues to grow. With this comes increasing demand for practical, accessible, and effective support.

To meet this challenge, we are evolving once again. From 2026, we will launch a new long-term strategy focused on deepening our impact, scaling what works, and working with system partners to close the gaps that exist in science, services, and access to support. This will require us to think differently about how we generate income, build strategic partnerships, and strengthen our infrastructure to sustain and grow our work for the future.

We are now looking for our first Executive Director, Commercial to bring together income generation, brand and marketing, digital innovation, data, and business development into one strategic and values-led portfolio. We are seeking someone who combines strong commercial acumen with mission-driven leadership: a strategic thinker who can build and lead high-performing teams, collaborate across disciplines, and engage credibly with senior stakeholders.

As a key member of our Executive Leadership Team, you will contribute to the organisation’s overall direction and play a pivotal role in shaping our future strategy. You will lead a talented, motivated team across fundraising, partnerships, business development, digital platforms, and brand.

If you bring substantial experience in commercial leadership or income generation, a passion for our mission, and the strategic and collaborative mindset to help shape our next chapter, we would be delighted to hear from you.

We are partnered with Starfish search and hope you will consider making an application. If you have questions about the appointment and would find it helpful to have an informal conversation, please contact Starfish and we will be happy to arrange a call.

Imagine a role where your creativity and collaborative approach help connect supporters to a powerful mission, shifting the dial in the food and farming education sector so more children facing disadvantage can discover their connection with the land that sustains us all.

We’re seeking a skilled communicator and digital storyteller equally comfortable crafting social media posts, drafting briefing notes, or capturing and editing film content. You’ll be passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices and supporting social change through engaging communications that inform, connect and inspire.

You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to drive engagement, raise our profile, and grow our digital presence through impactful multimedia storytelling. Your work will help bring the voices of children, families and communities to partners and supporters nationwide, placing The Country Trust’s mission at the heart of national conversations about wellbeing, education and tackling the poverty of opportunity.

This role involves travel and occasional overnight stays (with mileage reimbursed) across England and North Wales. While we prioritise public transport use, this is not always feasible. Therefore, a valid driving licence is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

Communications & Influence

• Develop and deliver strategic, multi-channel communications that translate complex ideas into compelling messages to increase our influence across media, policy, and partner networks.

Multimedia Storytelling

• Create and deliver impactful, accessible multimedia content that amplifies beneficiary voices, supports advocacy, and aligns with our brand and strategic goals.

Stakeholder Engagement & Partnerships​

• Develop and tailor impactful communications and materials that strengthen partnerships, engage funders, and support collaborative initiatives with partner organisations.

Press, Media & Digital Oversight

• Support on press and social media communications by managing media relationships, crafting timely content, and optimising outreach to amplify our advocacy and campaigns.

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

The Talent Set are thrilled to be partnering with The Urology Foundation—the UK’s only charity dedicated to all urological diseases and conditions.

In this vital role, you’ll help shape the organisation’s voice, grow its reach, and strengthen connections with supporters, patients, clinicians, and the wider public. From crafting compelling stories to leading impactful campaigns, this is an exciting opportunity for a creative communicator ready to make a meaningful difference.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and grow the charity’s social media presence through engaging content creation, scheduling, and performance analysis.
• Write and edit compelling content for newsletters, the website, and digital campaigns, including patient and clinician interviews.
• Lead on the production and distribution of regular e-newsletters, collaborating with internal teams to source and shape content.
• Keep the website up to date with accurate, accessible, and engaging content.
• Support awareness and advocacy campaigns, helping to ensure consistent messaging across all communication channels.
• Assist in planning and promoting fundraising and community events, building relationships with supporters and stakeholders.

Person Specification:

• Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to communicate complex information clearly and appropriately for different audiences and platforms.
• Experience in a communications, marketing, or engagement role—ideally within the charity, healthcare, or membership sectors.
• Confident using social media management tools (e.g. Hootsuite) and basic design platforms such as Canva to create digital content.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills, able to juggle multiple projects and meet deadlines with attention to detail.
• A collaborative team player with a proactive mindset, excellent interpersonal skills, and a genuine interest in health-related or mission-driven work.
