Are you a strong, creative communicator with excellent writing skills?
We need an experienced Communications and Marketing Officer to join our busy Communications team.

You‘ll need to have good experience using Canva, Photoshop, InDesign and Mailchimp (or similar) to produce dynamic visual assets, newsletters, and standalone marketing emails. Experience of all the above, should be evident on your CV.
This role will involve website maintenance (so experience with a CMS is needed) and content planning. It will involve briefing external service providers, such as photographers, videographers, designers and printers therefore you’ll need to be a confident project manager who is organised, able to handle competing priorities, and meet tight deadlines.
We need someone who is just as self-assured going out and about to gather stories from our tenants as they would be speaking with tenants on the phone. You’ll be based from home, but will need to be free to travel as part of the role two to four times a month. You’ll also be comfortable working with a variety of colleagues across the business to source information for communications and marketing content.
