WRITING THE FUTURE

This is a great opportunity to join a busy Marketing and Communications team at the heart of UWC Atlantic.  Founded in 1962, we are the original United World College. Enjoying a spectacular location at St. Donat’s Castle, perched above the Bristol Channel approximately 20 miles west of Cardiff, our 380 students are drawn from over 90 countries, with many attending on scholarship and all of them taking part in a well-developed co-curricular programme.

Our unique and distinctive mission is ‘to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future’.  The College encourages international understanding and tolerance by demonstrating that conflict and hostility can be overcome if young people from different nations, races and religions are brought together and challenged physically and academically.

You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as our RECLAIM REIMAGINE REINVENT action plan is about to be launched and we aim to reclaim our position as the flagship College of the UWC movement, recognised for the radical and experimental spirit that defines our history and drives our impact on the world.

We have a compelling story to tell. As a talented copywriter/content creator with creative industry or B2B/B2C knowledge and expertise, you'll set quality expectations and enjoy being part of a wider team, working with colleagues across the College and with our wider stakeholder community (including alumni, Trustees, business, the community and media and the global UWC movement) generating content and translating key messages into copy that is relevant, engaging and creates impact.

Outstanding copywriting craft and an all-round love for the written word means you'll know how to adapt and shape words for a variety of channels.  You’ll know the ins and outs of digital and SEO practices, have experience of UX writing and be able to keep our website copy content dynamic and relevant.

Keen to try new content approaches, your knowledge and understanding of copywriting best practice and monitoring content trends will mean that your work has impact across a range of online and offline channels - including a real mix of print from marketing collateral, press releases, through to articles, speeches and scripts - and you’ll have a portfolio to prove it.

A natural storyteller, you'll spend much of your time connecting and listening. You'll be finding the ideas, stories and words that will connect with stakeholders in fresh and inspiring ways to increase UWC Atlantic brand awareness and engagement.
