We’re looking for a creative and talented web developer to join our marketing team and play a key role in delivering our ambitious digital plans.

With over 60,000 visits to our website each month and a social media following of over 62,000, our digital platforms are essential for us to engage with our student members and other audiences.

A champion of digital innovation, you’ll understand the value of personalised, accessible and mobile-enabled content backed up by a clear user journey. You’ll apply this knowledge from planning through to building through to launch and evaluation.

As a strong team player you’ll integrate with other creative members within the marketing team, using their expertise at writing copy, graphic design or producing media content to provide a great user experience.

An excellent communicator, you will also be extremely helpful, supportive and friendly.

We offer 26 days’ holiday (plus generous statutory and customary closure days) and a final salary pension scheme.
