Do you have the vision to develop the marketing and communications strategy for our growing national charity and the drive to manage and deliver it?

This is a senior position and you will be educated to degree level or equivalent and have a minimum of three years marketing and communications experience.

You will be presentable, with a warm and approachable demeanour. You will also be a confident communicator, who is just as comfortable dealing with a consultant surgeon or the CEO of a charity, as you are with a worried patient on the eve of their surgery.

The marketing and communications manager is responsible for the charity’s website and social media platforms as well as creating written content for a variety of audiences and different media. You must possess exceptional written skills, effective proof reading and a key eye for a misplaced comma as well as in-depth knowledge of social media. A gift for telling stories in compelling and informative ways is advantageous.

To fit in with Colostomy UK’s small dedicated team, candidates need to be passionate about helping people and fighting for the underdog. When it gets busy, they must be prepared to roll their sleeves up to help.
