Summary
n 2024 we launched our Discover Knutsford place brand which includes a brand identity, social media and destination website designed to help raise Knutsford’s profile and promote tourism. Our Tourism and Marketing Officer will help manage this brand, website and social media, ensuring it is kept up to date and engaging.
In 2025, we renovated our Market Hall creating a new vibrant space for small business and community activity. As Tourism and Marketing Officer, you’ll help develop marketing plans to promote Knutsford Market Hall as a place to shop and a venue for hire.
In 2026, we adopted a tourism strategy action plan, setting out a range of actions we will undertake to promote Knutsford a visitor destination, bringing footfall to our town centre and supporting local business. You will help lead the delivery of our tourism activity and bring this plan to life.
You may have been to one of our community events in the past – we’re really proud to deliver a wide and engaging programme of activity, from big events like our Christmas Market to smaller events like Wellness Week. Working with our events team, you will plan marketing strategies to promote our events and bring footfall to Knutsford. This will involve occasionally working the events to create live content and support their delivery.
You will also work alongside our Town Centre Manager in developing and promoting council initiatives and services which aim to bring visitors to Knutsford such as our Taste Knutsford food tours or the Knutsford Gift Voucher.
This is a varied role where no two days will be exactly the same. You will be part of a small, cohesive and supportive team, working together to help Knutsford thrive.
Everything you do will be supporting our strategic aims of supporting a thriving town centre and leading a strong community.
