About the Organisation

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 the charity was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, the charity provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

Mindfulness and nature retreat centre needs a (mindful) Marketing & Comms Manager!

Salary is £38,025 pro rata for 3 or 4 days per week (22.5hrs to 30hrs pw, £22,815 - £30,420) 

We need a skilled, creative, enthusiastic marketeer, with proven digital marketing experience, to take the Trust’s marketing and communications to the next level.

We are a registered charity caring for the historic Grade I-listed Sharpham House and Estate on the banks of the River Dart near to Totnes.

At the heart of the Sharpham Trust ethos is our desire to build a more mindful, compassionate and environmentally sustainable world. We connect over 3,000 people annually with nature and foster mindfulness and well-being through our programme of retreats, mindfulness courses, public events, outdoor learning and the arts.

In recent years the Trust has greatly expanded its activities, integrating and increasing the scope of our work. Our estate now embraces various retreat centres, operating all year round, together with online offers, serving a wide range of audiences and interests. 

Our marketing and communications are founded upon a desire to build lasting authentic relationships with our participants and to expand the range and number of people we engage. 

Over the last two years we have been reviewing our marketing and communications and increased the staffing resources dedicated to this area. We have worked with an external consultant and we are currently introducing a new Customer Relationship Management System (Zoho CRM), so that we are better able to understand our users and tailor our communications to be effective. 

The Marketing and Communications Manager will line manage the Communications Officer and be supported by colleagues across the Trust who are responsible for: programming, finance, bookings, health and safety, property management, gardening and catering. 

This is not a fully remote working role because we need the successful candidate to attend Sharpham at least part of each week so they can interact with colleagues. 

All staff benefit from being part of the community at The Trust, an organisation which is working to create a more mindful, compassionate and sustainable world. Set in a beautiful landscape, with a warm and friendly team, a track record of success and an imaginative approach to the future, there can be few better environments to work in than at Sharpham. 

About you 

This is a role for someone who can see the bigger picture and is able to prioritise the best use of our resources by creating effective strategies to target, engage and develop specific audiences. 

To do this you will need to be confident in the digital realm, with an understanding of proven digital marketing techniques and experience with using customer data to tailor marketing priorities. 

You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to work on your own initiative, as part of a collaborative team. 

Most of all you will have a passion for communicating with people and be able to manage multiple priorities and always achieve high standards.
