Do you love sharing stories? The National Trust has some of the best. And by bringing your skills to Europe’s largest conservation charity, you’ll be helping to promote nature, beauty, and history for everyone to enjoy.
We’re looking for an Assistant Communications & Marketing Delivery Partner to join our team in the Midlands and East of England.
This is a fixed term contract due to end when the postholder returns to the role. At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.
What it's like to work here
You’ll be part of the Trust’s internal specialist delivery team: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise. As one of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including curators, fundraisers, building surveyors and project managers, you’ll be working with others to help make things happen.
As this role covers the Midland and East of England region, your contractual place of work will be the nearest National Trust office to your home. As we have an Assistant already based in the Midlands, you'll be supporting places more in the East and will need to be able to travel to this part of the region 1-2 times a month. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview.
What you'll be doing
You’ll work as part of a team of experienced communication and marketing specialists. Your role will be to support your colleagues within the specialist delivery team, as well as those nationally and locally. You’ll help to raise people’s awareness of, and connection with, the Trust’s conservation work and the places in our care.
You’ll be creating, editing, proof‑reading, co‑ordinating and collating content for a multitude of channels. You’ll work on our website, lead on our social media activity and co‑ordinate our member email comms. You’ll be expected to take photographs and create and edit short films for social media. By regularly gathering analytics and other data, you’ll help to evaluate and plan the team’s activity so that it’s relevant for our audiences.
Who we're looking for
* Experience in creating content for different channels (PR, email, web, social media) and an understanding that this needs to adhere to National Trust brand standards and values.
* Experience and confidence with web CMS and social media platforms.
* Experience of taking photographs and making films for use on social media channels.
* Ability to extract and collate analytics and other data.
* Someone with an eye for detail, good organisational skills and able to work at pace and keep to time.
* An effective communicator, able to build good working relationships – working as part of a team and a self‑starter.
* Good at listening, building trust and giving a high‑quality service to colleagues.
The package
* Substantial pension scheme of up to 10% basic salary.
* Free entry to National Trust places for you, a guest and your children (under 18).
* Season ticket loan.
* EV car lease scheme (for roles that meet the salary criteria).
* Perks at work discounts such as gym memberships, shopping discount codes, cinema discounts.
* Holiday allowance up to 32 days relating to length of service, plus holiday purchase scheme, subject to meeting minimum criteria.
