Royal Brompton Jobs
We are looking for a talented, dynamic Marketing & Communications Manager to come and join our small but ambitious Charity that supports two specialist hospitals.
Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity has bold plans for 2020 and beyond – the role of Marketing & Communications Manager is vital to delivering them, whilst working closely with internal colleagues and stakeholders across the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Foundation Trust.
The role answers directly in to the Chief Executive to reflect the pivotal nature both in planning and delivery.
About you
Our communications strategy has grown out of all recognition over the years and as a result, the Charity is entering an exciting period.
You should be well versed in harnessing marketing and communications skills across a range of online and offline channels in order to drive audience growth. As a small Charity, it is imperative that we retain and nurture our existing supporter base too by providing ongoing opportunities for them to engage – from fundraising events, to news stories about our appeals.
Supporting two world-class hospitals that treat serious heart and lung conditions means many patient stories are shared with us. You will lead the strategy to share these stories in a way that is engaging and emotive, and that is integrated across our channels.
You will be working across different projects alongside the fundraising team, clinicians at the Trust and within the Marketing Department; you will be extremely well organised with the ability to prioritise should deadlines change.
You will manage the Digital and Marketing Executive and you will both be at the heart of a new strategy which takes the Charity in an exciting and ambitious direction.
Amongst other channels, you will oversee the Charity website, working with the Digital and Marketing Executive to add new content, upload supporter stories, manage the online shop and share our fundraising stories and events. You will also write and edit a twice-yearly Charity magazine that is read by thousands of supporters. As the Marketing Manager you will be a brand guardian to the Charity, ensuring that branding is clear and consistent on all materials.
This is a role never short of inspiration and the right candidate will help make a real difference to hundreds of thousands of patients each year, from babies with congenital heart defects to adults in need of a life-saving transplant,
Do you think you have what it takes to make a difference? If so, we want to hear from you. Please submit a CV and covering letter. Deadline for responses is Monday 27th January. Interviews will take place on Wednesday 5th February.
