Due to an internal promotion, Chester Students' Union is looking for a Marketing & Sales Co-ordinator to join our Marketing & Development team. Reporting to the Marketing & Development Lead, you'll be creating dynamic and engaging content for CSU’s social media channels using a mix of technologies and techniques to keep our members informed about our services and those of our commercial partners. As a confident communicator, you'll also be crafting creative copy for our website and supporting colleagues in other departments with their own copywriting projects, all while helping CSU to achieve its revenue goals through Customer Relationship Management campaigns and administrative support for our media sales.

We are looking for a dynamic individual to join our Health and Social Care team at Capacity and bring additional resource to a variety of projects. We are looking for someone to work hard on the stuff that makes health and social care services have a bigger impact; helping them be creative and redefine what they and the people they work with can achieve. You will provide know-how, big picture thinking, and hands-on time to get moving on the projects that really matter: the ones that make the biggest impact on the lives of real people. 

The Development Manager will work with a range of public and voluntary sector clients across the health and social care sector, providing advice, inspiration and practical organisational development support to seed effective ideas and build thriving organisations. You will be responsible for securing new business development opportunities alongside working with clients to develop organisational resilience whilst delivering impactful, well designed work. Through a range of service design, business planning and project management activities you will identify client organisations’ key objectives and work to deliver them in collaboration with leaders and key stakeholders.

To excel in this role, you will need to be motivated by understanding what communities truly need and be passionate about designing and implementing new services to meet those needs. Development roles at Capacity rely on colleagues being adept at building close, trusting relationships with leaders and key stakeholders, kind in the support they offer clients and courageous in delivering constructive challenge when required. As you will work across multiple projects, individuals who thrive in these roles currently are excited by and expertly manage a large and diverse workload. Whilst we encourage our colleagues to all be great leaders, you’ll need to be a proactive, team-playing, “do-er” – communicating regularly with clients and the team to ensure stakeholders are kept abreast of strategy, progress and financials.

We don’t expect (nor believe in) perfection. The projects we deliver are often complex and things won’t always work. We therefore promote a learning culture where people are encouraged to be open and honest about what’s working, what isn’t and where they might need extra support. It’s really important that people considering this role aren’t afraid of making mistakes or asking for help.

If this sounds like you, please apply before Monday 14 June via our website.
