Content and Communications Officer

This is a very exciting time to join the marketing team at King’s College, Taunton. We have an ambitious new strategy and bold new plans to step-change how we engage with our existing and new audiences. Reporting to the Marketing and Communications Manager, this role will be instrumental in uncovering the stories of the King’s Schools, planning the most impactful way to tell them, and leading the creation and sharing of content through the right channels at the right time.

You will be passionate about creating engaging and audience-focused content, with original ideas and a keen eye for opportunity, and experience across a range of channels and formats (including knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud and photography and video skills). Alongside that you’ll be a strong copywriter, as at home in writing a press release as creating posts for social media. You’ll be confident in supporting the school’s website development, using analytics and data to understand and interpret performance, and happy to take ownership of the school’s e-communications schedule. Your collaborative, proactive and flexible way of working will mean that you’re able to work closely with internal teams and colleagues to draw out and manage a continuous flow of news, content, stories and ideas.

Direct experience of the education sector is not essential, but you must demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of the opportunities and challenges it presents from a marketing and comms point of view.

The role offers generous benefits including employer pension contribution, free school lunch, free on-site parking, discretionary staff discount on school fees and use of the indoor swimming pool and sports facilities.
