Events & Communications Coordinator
Closing date: 4th February 2026
Salary: £23,000 per annum
We also offer 26 days’ annual leave (+ public holidays) on starting, matched pension contributions up to 5 percent, enhanced pay when taking leave as your family grows, income protection insurance, a health-cash plan and a wide range of wellbeing and mental health support services.
Location: This role may be office/hybrid or home based. Our head office is near Stoneleigh, Warwickshire so there’ll be occasional times you’ll need to travel to our office, as well as other locations across England and Wales.
Hours: Our usual full-time hours are 35 a week — with an early finish on a Friday! We offer other flexible work options, such as compressed hours, which we’re happy to discuss.
What you’ll be doing:
* Communicating and promoting events using a variety of platforms
* Creating and sharing engaging content
* Managing your communications across social media, newsletters and our website
* Editing and designing promotional materials using templates
* Helping to ensure our campaigns and initiatives are delivered effectively
* Collaborating with other teams and volunteers
What you won’t be doing:
* Sticking to one platform—you’ll work across social media, email, and web
* Doing repetitive tasks—every day will bring variety and creativity
* Working alone – this is a collaborative role with plenty of interaction
This is a great role for you if:
* You’re creative and confident in copywriting, design, and social media.
* You enjoy working with volunteers and building relationships.
* You’re organised and can manage multiple projects and deadlines.
* You have good equine knowledge and understand the equestrian community.
* You want to work in an organisation that supports you to bring your full, authentic self to work and is working really hard to be a beacon of inclusion in the equestrian sector.
We’re excited that you’re thinking about applying to British Horse Society. To help you make the strongest impression, here are a few friendly tips:
* AI tools can be handy, but they don’t always hit the mark when it comes to the specific stuff we’re looking for
* We really want to hear your voice — your experiences, your skills and what makes you, well, you!
* If you lean too much on AI-generated content, your application might end up sounding a bit generic — and that could hurt your chances.
So, keep it real, keep it personal and show us what you’re all about.
