About Social Bite:

Social Bite is a charity and social enterprise with a vision of a society where no one should have to be homeless. For over a decade, we’ve brought people, partners and communities together to challenge the status quo and pioneer solutions that create lasting change.

From supporting people to find a safe place to call home, to empowering people into employment, to providing free, fresh food to people experiencing homelessness or food poverty, our work is rooted in dignity, kindness and impact. Across flagship campaigns, fundraising events and community led action, everything we do reflects our values of kindness, collaboration, dignity and impact, and our belief that lasting change is possible when people come together with purpose.

We’re proud of our warm, inclusive and supportive culture, where people feel trusted, valued and encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, with a strong focus on wellbeing, balance and collaboration.

The role:

We’re seeking a Digital Marketing Manager to join our team and support our mission to end homelessness. This role will lead and optimise our digital marketing activity across paid media, website, SEO, email and campaigns, helping more people discover, understand and support Social Bite.

Shape clear, compelling digital content: write and develop copy for website pages, landing pages, emails, paid adverts and campaign activity, making sure our content feels human, useful and true to Social Bite’s mission.

Lead our digital performance: plan, manage and optimise paid advertising across search and social platforms, making sure budgets are used well and campaigns support fundraising, commercial and awareness goals.

Make our website work harder: take ownership of website content, SEO and user journeys so people can quickly find what they need, understand our impact and take action, whether that’s donating, visiting a shop, joining a campaign or getting in touch.

Turn insight into action: use data from GA4, Search Console, advertising platforms, email tools and dashboards to show what’s working, what needs to change, and where we can improve.

Deliver integrated campaigns: coordinate digital activity across our major campaigns, fundraising appeals, shop activity, partnerships and impact work, making sure plans are clear, joined up and delivered to a high standard.

Strengthen how we work: help us build better systems, reporting, processes and ways of working so the Marketing & Communications team can plan, respond to opportunities, and keep improving.

Champion Social Bite’s voice online: make sure our digital activity is clear, consistent and mission-led, helping people connect with who we are, what we do and why it matters.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in digital marketing, with strong knowledge of paid media, SEO, website content and analytics.
• Someone who can balance hands-on delivery with planning, optimisation and clear recommendations.
• A confident writer who can create clear, engaging copy for websites, email, paid adverts and campaign journeys.
• A highly organised person who can manage multiple priorities, budgets and deadlines.
• A digital marketer who knows how to use data, but doesn’t lose sight of people, message and mission. Why we do what we do is always at the heart of communications.

Why join us?

• Culture: you’ll be part of a supportive and dynamic team in an entrepreneurial organisation that values your ideas and perspective.
