• Write, proofread, and edit copy to ensure brand tone and consistency.
• Take ownership of the weekly student newsletter, drafting content, segmenting audiences, and scheduling delivery.
• Attend events to capture photos, videos and live social media coverage.
• Brief graphic designers and work collaboratively to turn content into visually engaging digital assets.
• Keep up with trends, evaluate new ideas, and identify shareable content opportunities for a student audience.
• Work with students and staff to source and share authentic, engaging stories from the community.

General Marketing Support

• Monitor and report on content performance to inform improvements and future planning.
• Support moderation and engagement on social channels, escalating in line with internal procedures where necessary.
• Assist with the delivery of key events and campaigns throughout the year.
• Promote and maintain inclusive, accessible, and diverse communications in all outputs.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to have years of experience, we’re looking for someone who is:

• A confident communicator with strong writing and editing skills
• Creative and full of ideas, with a good eye for content and trends
• Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple tasks
• Passionate about working with students and creating meaningful engagement
• A team player who’s enthusiastic about learning and contributing

You’ll be joining a supportive and collaborative team where creativity is encouraged, and your work will have a real impact. Whether you’re building your career or looking for your next step, this role offers a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and make your mark.

Experience in digital marketing, student comms, or similar roles is helpful, but not essential. If you’re enthusiastic and ready to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
