Marketing Assistant – Hands-On Role in a Growing Health & Wellness Brand
Location: Tiptree, Essex
Type: Part-Time or Full-Time (Flexible for the right person)
About VITAL Health
VITAL Health is a fast-growing physiotherapy and wellness clinic based in Tiptree, Essex. We help people live active, pain-free lives through a mix of expert therapy, rehabilitation, and cutting-edge regenerative technologies such as MBST and Stimpod.
We're on an exciting journey towards building a world-class clinic, one that transforms lives, sets new standards of care, and helps thousands of people across the region stay active and independent.
Now, we're looking for a Marketing Assistant to join us - someone eager to learn, ready to get stuck in, and excited to help us share our story with the local community.
The Opportunity
This is not a "corporate" marketing role - this is a hands-on learning role where you'll be involved in almost every part of marketing a real business. You'll work directly with our Director, learning how to plan, create, and measure campaigns that actually bring clients through the door.
You'll gain experience across all areas of small business marketing, including:
* Social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
* Email newsletters and client updates
* Local advertising (magazines, events, sponsorships)
* Case study creation and patient success stories
* Website and blog updates
* Event marketing and community outreach
* Simple Canva design work (training provided)
* Helping organise and promote local health events and workshops
If you've ever wanted to see how real marketing works in a growing small business, this is your chance.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
* Hungry to learn – you don't need to know everything yet, but you must be curious and proactive
* Creative and resourceful – you enjoy writing, posting, or coming up with ideas
* Organised – you can keep track of multiple small projects at once
* Comfortable with tech – you're happy using tools like Canva, Meta, Mailchimp, or similar (training provided)
* People-focused – you understand that great marketing is about helping people, not just promoting a service
Bonus points if you have:
* Experience creating social media content (even for personal or university projects)
* A qualification or interest in marketing, media, or communications
* A portfolio, blog, or examples of work you've done (optional)
What You'll Gain
* Hands-on experience across all areas of marketing in a growing business
* Mentorship and direct learning from the Clinic Director
* The chance to see your ideas come to life in campaigns and local events
* A positive, supportive, and fun environment
* Real responsibility - you'll make an impact from day one
Practical Details
* Location: Tiptree, Essex
* Hours: Flexible (part-time or full-time)

* Salary: Competitive, based on experience
