Are you an innovative and creative thinker with the ability to problem-solve and take the initiative to successfully implement your own ideas? If so, this could be a great opportunity for you.

For this role you will need to demonstrate a good understanding of marketing and communications tools, including social media, and how to use these to develop and enhance engagement with a target audience.
