An opportunity has arisen for a Marketing Assistant to join our fantastic team at Bradford Birth to 19. 

Main Duties & Objectives 

As part of the team which leads on marketing and communications across our full range of work, your main duties will include: 

• Creating posts and captions for social media channels for 50 Things to Do regions across West Yorkshire.  

• Supporting partners with the uploading of events onto our 50 Things to Do regional websites to showcase low and no cost activities for families with young children, happening in their local areas.

• Supporting the team with events management, with the potential to be working on the occasional weekend day.

• Helping to prepare giveaways for marketing events for all of our workstreams.

• Opportunities to photograph events and activities on and off site.

• Assisting with the development of marketing and communications campaigns and collateral where needed.

• Assisting with the production of long and short form video content production where needed.

• As a part of a relatively small but growing core team, being able to turn your hand to many things – we support each other. Each of us has the opportunity to take on roles and lead work that interests us or makes good use of our particular talents.

Benefits and Outcomes 

Working with us is unique! We are a supportive, values-driven organisation. We are small enough to be able to innovate quickly, and to ensure all who work with us are valued and nurtured; and large and successful enough to have influence with and be supported by local and national decision-makers. 

The post we are advertising for is a result of sustained growth, and will be a new addition to a growing team. 

We are a values-led organisation, supporting the local economy, and we expect all our staff to support our belief that children and young people should be at the centre of everything we do. This means a commitment to community cohesion and social mobility for all. 

We are looking for a highly flexible, hard-working team player who is ready to learn with us, in a supportive, friendly and optimistic team. This post would suit someone who would be interested in developing a career within the charitable sector or within the public sector. You are likely to have had some experience of working with, or for, a charity, or in a community, school, health, or training setting and want a job which will combine the dynamism of partnership development, with the social value of working in the education, health and care sector. 

A willingness to attend occasional conferences and meetings away from the area (with full expenses provided) is required, as is the ability to work occasional evenings and single weekend days, when time off in lieu will be given.
