Hereford Cathedral is looking for a friendly, creative and organised individual to join our team as a Marketing Assistant. We're seeking someone with a keen eye for detail, plenty of initiative and a passion for creating engaging marketing content.

The marketing team supports the entirety of the cathedral including (but not limited to) liturgy and worship, fundraising and development, library and archives, visitor experience, music, events, tours and our commercial operation which includes the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Museum, Cathedral Café and Shop. Life within the marketing team is never dull with such a vast range of ongoing projects and the Marketing Assistant will play a critical role in supporting the Marketing Officer and Marketing Manager in delivering this varied work.

The Marketing Assistant’s main responsibilities will be editing and building events on the cathedral website, designing and updating marketing materials within existing templates and building e-newsletters. They will also play an active role within the team to assist with planning and delivery of campaigns and support with print management and displays in and around the cathedral.

The working hours are 16 hours per week. The set pattern of working hours can be decided with the chosen candidate in agreement with the Marketing Manager but this role will require solely officebased working for at least the first four months of employment. There is potential for more flexible working arrangements after the induction period but due to the nature of the role, on site presence during core hours will continue to be necessary. Agreed overtime is not payable but time off in lieu will be granted.

The appointment of the successful candidate is subject to the receipt of two satisfactory references, proof of right to work in the UK and will also require a satisfactory DBS check.

The position will command a starting salary £23,196 (FTE) per annum, with a non-contributory pension scheme, whereby the employer contributes 8% of salary. 

The closing date for applications is Friday 31 July at midday. Interviews will be held on Wednesday 19 August at Hereford Cathedral. We normally inform all unsuccessful applicants and acknowledge their applications after an appointment has been made.
