AEM is the leading regional autism charity in the East Midlands. We are looking for a creative and proactive Marketing and Communications Officer to lead content creation and platform growth for a new social enterprise, while linking into our existing charitable activities.
This is a hands-on role focused on producing high-impact content across social media accounts. You will help to shape brand voice and be involved with creative execution and strategy, building engaged communities, and delivering measurable results.
You will be responsible for planning and producing content, leading videography (filming, directing, editing), and managing end-to-end social media campaigns. The role also involves analysing performance, optimising content, and ensuring all activity aligns with wider marketing and business objectives.
You will have proven experience managing social media accounts for brands, with a strong understanding of what drives engagement and growth. You are confident behind the camera as well as in editing, with solid videography skills using tools such as CapCut or Adobe Premiere.
You are both creative and data-driven—able to spot trends, generate ideas, and use performance insights to continuously improve content and campaigns. You are comfortable maintaining clear messaging while adapting tone and style where needed.
Highly organised and self-motivated, you are confident working independently and taking ownership of your workload. You are willing to be on-site regularly to capture real-time content and bring fresh ideas to life.
