Thank you for taking the time to explore the role of Marketing and Communications Manager at the Family Holiday Charity. We're here to help families facing some of life's toughest challenges to experience the anticipation, joy and impact of a break from the day to day. Can you help us spread the word?

This role is an important one to help us build brand and awareness around our mission and goals  - in simple terms, helping more families to get away and ensuring that every family has the chance to go on holiday.

At its heart, this role is about storytelling and our ability to tell stories that capture hearts and minds. Taking ownership of the full story capture and storytelling process, you'll use this output to help build our brand, fundraise and tell our advocacy story. What's new for us in this role is PR - it's just not something we've done before, so you'll build relationships, networks and opportunities with earned media. You'll work with talented fundraisers, partnership builders and operational delivery colleagues to ensure we're sharing a cohesive and coherent message that supports all our audience goals and targets. And you'll get to work with a talented Comms Officer who delivers on our social, email and web activities. 

This role is key to helping us make sure we're doing our best for families and putting our best foot forward every time. 

It's a varied and fast-paced role (Comms roles are, right!?) that means you'll be involved in planning, creating and managing activities, so you'll need to have some awesome planning skills and be good with interpersonal relationships.

We're a small but flexible team - just like our approach to work. This is a hybird role, and you'll need to come into the office periodically (but none of that performative days a week nonsense!).

It's vital that you're happy and confident in making your next career move, so let's take the time to chat if you'd like to!

At SATRO our mission is to raise young people's aspirations about their futures, and help equip them with the skills and confidence they need to pursue their goals.

About the role

Crucial to achieving our purpose, great outcomes and meaningful impact are our relationships with businesses.  This role is all about raising our profile and building new partnerships with businesses that deliver financial and practical support, be that covering the cost of a programme or school activity, or encouraging colleagues to volunteer.

About you

We are looking for someone with experience of telling stories in a way that engages and inspires, and a track record of winning new business partnerships to support our growth. 

You should be a confident and creative communicator, experienced at raising awareness and enhancing profile, great at building relationships and passionate about what we're trying to achieve.  We have a focus on STEM industries, so an interest or familiarity would be helpful, but is not essential. 

About us

You will be joining a passionate and dedicated team who are committed to harnessing our relationships with businesses to raise young people's aspirations about their future careers, and through those partnerships help them understand employer expectations and develop the skills they will need to be successful. 

We offer flexible working arrangements, a fun and supportive working environment and 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays (pro rata)
