• Deliver engaging internal and external communications that strengthen our relationships.
• Lead market research initiatives, analyse visitor feedback, and use insight to guide campaigns.
• Support fundraising communications to amplify our charity’s impact and purpose.
• Manage the annual marketing budget and report regularly to the Management Team.
What You’ll Bring
• Senior-level experience in marketing and/or communications.
• A track record of delivering successful marketing campaigns across digital and traditional channels.
• Strong media relations skills, with experience managing press enquiries and producing statements.
• Expertise in digital marketing, including CMS management, social media, SEO and analytics.
• Brilliant written and verbal communication, with a strong editorial eye.
• Creativity, innovation, and strategic thinking - alongside the ability to juggle varied priorities.
• A collaborative approach and an enthusiasm for engaging with diverse audiences.
• A genuine connection with our charitable values: authenticity, inclusivity, hospitality, spirituality, generosity and sustainability.
What We Offer
• From £35,000 FTE
• Benefits include: 8% employer pension contributions, Death in service & Health Assistance Package, Free membership, guest passes, Outdoor theatre tickets and more!
• 25 days annual leave (pro rata) plus long service holiday rewards.
• Work at the heart of a national important heritage site, surrounded by beauty and history.
