Most charity marketing jobs sound exactly the same.
“Exciting opportunity.”
“Fast-paced environment.”
“Dynamic team.”
We imagine that you’ve seen it all before. Probably read it on a job post on here.
So, here’s the reality instead. We are a small charity doing genuinely life-changing work for people impacted by rare, life changing neurological conditions.
We support people through some of the hardest moments of their lives. We help people feel less alone. We raise awareness of conditions hardly anyone has heard of until they suddenly turn someone’s world upside down.
And we need someone brilliant to help us shout louder.
Not corporate louder. Human louder.
We are looking for a Marketing Executive who can create engaging content, spot a good story a mile off, build communities, grow awareness, and help us reach more people who need us.
You’ll be creating social posts, campaigns, newsletters, website content, awareness activity, fundraising communications, and probably the occasional “can you quickly make this look nice?” job too. Because that’s charity life.
This is not a role where you disappear into layers of management and endless sign-off processes. You’ll have space to bring ideas to life, to try new things, to be creative, and to actually see the impact of your work, every day.
This role would suit someone with some marketing or communications experience who wants to keep learning, build confidence, and grow in a bold, developing, supportive, and purpose-driven organisation.
We want someone who:
-
Gets digital and social media
-
Knows how to write like a human being
-
Understands that awareness matters
-
Is creative, organised, and proactive
-
Isn’t afraid to try something different
-
Wants their work to actually mean something
-
Can crack on with stuff without someone directing everything you do
You do not need to tick every single box. If you’re good at what you do, care about people and making a difference, and want to work somewhere with purpose and personality, we’d really love to hear from you.
The important bits
Salary: £28,500
Hours: 37 hours per week
Location: Hybrid – mainly home-based, with at least one day per month in our office in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, plus occasional travel
Contract: Permanent
What you’ll get
-
Flexible hybrid working
-
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
-
Pension contribution
-
A genuinely supportive team
-
Freedom to bring ideas to life
-
Opportunities to learn and grow
-
Work that actually matters
-
A charity that trusts people to do their jobs without micromanaging every breath they take
Most importantly, you’ll help people impacted by Inflammatory Neuropathies feel informed, supported, connected, and heard.

We support & advocate for people who are impacted by GBS, CIDP, MMN & other Inflammatory Neuropathies. We also raise awareness and facilitate research
