• At least 2 years' experience in a communications or marketing role (ideally with churches or church-based charities), delivering a range of integrated marketing and communications activities to engage different audiences.
• Strong grasp of branding principles and techniques and how to apply these in communications and marketing work.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the proven ability to write and produce engaging communications for a range of channels and audiences.
• Experience of evaluating communications or marketing activities.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships and communicate with a wide range of people.
• Flexible approach and skilled at working in a fast-paced environment and juggling multiple priorities.
• Creative and innovative approach to communication combined with clear focus on delivering quality work to time and budget that is right first time.
• A good understanding and experience with using Adobe Creative Cloud and other creative & design platforms.

Desirable

• Educated to degree level or equivalent qualification
• Marketing qualification (CIM or equivalent)
• Experienced with photography and videography
