At Prospect Hospice, we believe stories change lives – and how we tell them matters. As our new Content Manager, you’ll lead our digital content strategy—connecting with our community, inspiring supporters, and highlighting the human impact of our palliative care services. This is more than a communications role. It’s your chance to be part of something truly meaningful.
We’re proud to be an independent charity rooted in our local community, providing personalised palliative and end-of-life care and support when people need it most. And we bring the same care to our team as we do to our patients.
What will you be doing?
As Content Manager, you’ll lead the creation and delivery of engaging, audience-focused content across channels, including digital (social media, email and our website). You’ll:
* Craft compelling stories and campaigns that connect with hearts and minds
* Develop, manage and deliver creative content plans in line with our brand and tone of voice
* Collaborate with colleagues and community members to co-create content
* Use insight and analytics to test, learn and continually improve
* Champion best practice and support others across the organisation to tell our story well
You’ll play a key role as part of a small but dynamic charity communications and marketing team; reporting to the Senior Brand and Marketing Manager, and working alongside colleagues, supporters and external agencies.
“It’s a place where you know your work truly matters. Everyone’s passionate, kind and happy to roll up their sleeves.” Tina, Marketing & Communications Officer
