You'll love writing all types of content, including blog posts, press releases, social media posts, web pages, printed resources and more.

Identifying opportunities for organic media coverage and developing press releases, as well as drafting LTTs and media responses when required.

An understanding and interest in AI tools and how these can support you in the role and the wider marketing team.

Role

Support Rocksteady's communications manager across all company communications, ranging from identifying and managing reputational risks to creating parent-facing marketing collateral.

Work across growth and engagement in the marketing team to support key departmental deliverables and workstreams.

Support exciting communications campaigns (working with others in the business) to drive brand awareness and engagement with educational leaders and influencers. Oversee social media posts and online community engagement.

Support colleagues across the organisation to communicate effectively and professionally with key stakeholders, adhering to Rocksteady's tone of voice.

Attributes

Experience of working in a similar role would be beneficial, working for a fast-growing company and comfortable building relationships with stakeholders across the organisation.

Strong attention to detail and ability to proofread your own and other people's copy. Understand the importance of nuanced communications to adapt comms for multiple audiences.

Comfortable working on multiple projects at once, managing your time autonomously and prioritising workload.

A team player who truly believes in music's power to transform children's lives.

Benefits

Full-time, permanent position - 35 hours per week. 25 days holiday, plus all UK bank holidays.

Work in our office which is a beautiful, converted manor house in rural Hampshire with vast grounds complete with its own lake and orchard.

Personal development opportunities.
