Countdown to your next career move
We could start by telling you no two days are the same… but in our world, you probably already expect that.
So here’s the real story: we’re on the lookout for a creative campaigner, brand storyteller, and marketing all-rounder who wants to do work that means something. Whether it’s helping recruit lifesaving clinicians, celebrating everyday workplace heroes, or putting a spotlight on social value in our communities - you’ll be part of a team that makes the difference loud and clear.
You’ll be our Marketing & Engagement Lead, working side-by-side with our Marketing & Engagement Manager, helping to create, lead and deliver high-impact marketing campaigns, recruitment projects, internal engagement, and digital content that reflects who we are and what we stand for.
A bit about you
You know your way around Canva and content management systems. You can write copy with warmth and whip up campaign ideas on a burst of creative energy. You enjoy turning stats into stories and briefs into bold, inclusive content. You're organised, people-savvy, and not afraid to challenge the ordinary.
