This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced marketing officer to innovate, introduce better ways of working, and make a real impact in a values-led organisation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading multi-channel marketing campaigns (email, social media, website, newsletters, events)

• Collaborating with suppliers to tailor messaging and drive engagement

• Managing and updating marketing materials and digital content

• Analysing campaign performance and reporting on impact

• Building relationships with diocesan communication teams and the Catholic Education Service

• Supporting cross-team collaboration and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is:

• Experienced working within mission-driven or education-focused organisations

• Energetic, personable, and highly organised

• A skilled communicator with excellent writing and presentation abilities

• Experienced in using marketing tools like Canva, Mailchimp, and Coda

• Comfortable working independently and as part of a remote team

• Sympathetic to the mission and ethos of the Catholic Church

A marketing qualification is highly desirable, and while you don’t need to be a practicing Catholic, an understanding of the Church’s structure and values will be a strong advantage.

Why Join?

You’ll be part of a small, passionate team committed to delivering best value and reducing environmental impact in alignment with Catholic social teaching. You’ll have the freedom to innovate, the support to grow, and the chance to contribute to a meaningful mission.

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront.

You will support governance that enables wise decision-making and foster a risk management culture that both protects the organisation and recognises and seizes opportunities, all while actively pursuing and staying faithful to our calling.
