• Job: Consultant: social media & brand (account manager equivalent)
• Start date: As soon as possible
• Type: Permanent, full time, hybrid 
• Salary: £35,000-40,000
• Deadline for applications: Sunday 29th March, 11pm

Background

We’re a team of strategists who shape and disrupt policy narratives.

Cast from Clay is a communications consultancy for those who work on policy change. Most good ideas in the world of policy never make it to the desk of a decision maker. That’s where we come in. We help clients figure out what to say, to whom, and how. We treat brand as a strategic tool, giving complex ideas the focus and intention they need to land with the right audience.

The job

The Consultant: social media & brand (account manager equivalent) is a full-time, hybrid, permanent position at Cast from Clay. No two days are the same. As a team of 12+ based in the UK and Ukraine, we get involved in everything. You could be researching, planning and writing social media content, crafting brand strategies, developing creative concepts, or managing client relationships.

We’re not expecting you to come in and lead client accounts from day one, but over time, our goal is to coach you into a place where you can. What we do expect is for you to lead the execution. We are looking for someone who can take a project brief and run with it. You need to be able to deliver high-quality work on time with little hand-holding, becoming the person the client calls when they need to know a job will get done.

We’re looking for someone who is intellectually curious. If you love exploring ideas, their impact on the world, and understanding how people relate to them, you’ll fit right in. Importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to learn and grow, who is hungry for career progression, and who gets a kick out of working hard and doing amazing things.

What we are looking for: 

You will have: 

• At least 3 years experience in a communications agency, in-house and/or in a communications-related role.

• A strong understanding of how social platforms work. You will be familiar with audience engagement, community management, and platform algorithms.

• Experience of setting up and managing organic and paid campaigns (social/PPC). You can track performance, interpret metrics, and use data to refine the approach.

• The ability to write high-quality content tailored to distinct brand voices. You are a storyteller who can translate technical, jargon-heavy topics into compelling narratives.

• Strong interpersonal skills and the confidence to manage client expectations and offer constructive pushback when necessary.

• Excellent attention to detail, diligent and proactive. You can manage multiple deadlines and projects simultaneously. 

It’s a bonus if you have: 

• Knowledge and understanding of the components of a brand strategy.

• Basic design understanding to assist the team with creative concepts, help visualise ideas during the development process, and enjoy collaborating with designers on visual execution.

If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in social media and writing, we would love to hear from you.

What we offer

We offer a competitive benefits package for all our positions, including enhanced parental leave, sabbaticals, and training budgets.

• Office: we work from our offices in Vauxhall on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You’re welcome to use the office more frequently than that if you wish.

• Home office allowance: we’ll make a £150 contribution towards kitting out your home workspace.

• Flexible working: tell us how you work best and we’ll do what we can to make it happen – including if you want to spend time working from abroad.

• Monthly team socials: we like spending time together so every few weeks we come up with ideas for things to do together. That’s included board games over pizza, ice skating, movie nights, playing a VR game together and going on llama safari at our local city farm.

• Training: you’ll get up to £1,000 annual training budget to spend on your professional development. 

• Pension: we will pay 5% of your salary, matching the 5% you pay, to make a total of 10% annual contributions.

• Holidays: we offer 25 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays, and we close the office over Christmas.

Interested?

If this sounds like you, please send us: 

1. Up to 250 words on a campaign you have worked on and why you are proud of it.

2. Your CV (no more than 2 pages).

Some things to bear in mind:

1. We expect to receive a lot of applications to this role. If you want to stand out, include a (logical) reference to Cast from Clay in your CV.

2. We don’t mind you using generative AI to help you wordsmith your submission, but if you use AI - and we can tell - we’ll disregard your application.

• We are an equal opportunities employer and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, class, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.

About Kidney Care UK
 

Around 3.5 million people in the UK live with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over 68,000 are treated for end-stage kidney failure, relying on dialysis or a transplant to keep them alive. Treatments are gruelling and relentless and impact the patients’ ability to work, maintain social interaction and live the life they choose. For over 50 years, Kidney Care UK has been at the forefront of supporting people with kidney disease. From our early days when we campaigned to introduce donor cards in the UK, we have worked hard to support and represent the interests of everyone affected by kidney disease.
Promoting better outcomes for people living with kidney disease, we actively seek applications from people who live with CKD or who have experience of the condition as a family member or healthcare professional.
