About Us

We provide invaluable care and support to over 7,500 people across the five London Boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.

Your new role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our marketing and communications team who lead on the promotion of our clinical services, St Christopher’s CARE (our education offer), fundraising appeals, our charity stores and commercial partnerships.

As Marketing Assistant, you’ll be super organised, adept at simultaneously managing incoming enquiries alongside ongoing projects and have a keen eye for detail to stop any mistakes getting through.

 About you:

• Hold a good level of general education including English

• Possess excellent organisational, project and time management skills
• Have experience of using social media to fulfil an aim or objective
• Possess good interpersonal skills and the ability to work well with staff at all levels.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
