The Role

Full time, fixed term for up to 12 months (maternity cover)

Salary is £25,217 to £28,331 per annum

Location: York

Ambitious, inclusive and responsive to change, York St John University is an empowering place to learn and a rewarding place to work.  We're currently seeking a highly credible and creative Marketing Officer to join our enthusiastic team for a fixed term period of up to one year.

This is a really exciting time to become part of the Marketing Team at York St John University.  With a new student recruitment campaign coming soon, big plans for our brand and market position developing and new opportunities identified across Undergraduate, Postgraduate and international audiences - you'll have the chance to shape our future. 

We're looking for a Marketing Officer with the breadth of competencies and interests to work across a wide spectrum of tasks and development opportunities.  Digital-first in your thinking, you'll understand the rapidly changing nature of modern marketing and back this up with the people skills to connect and influence on a personal and professional level.

You'll work in a supportive team, but with the autonomy to bring your own ideas and experience.  We're looking for somebody that can oversee a range of projects and work to deadlines, manage multiple relationships both within and outside the University and feels confident developing skills across a range of media, including web, print, photography and film. Experience of marketing to or for an international audience is desirable, but not essential.

If you relish the challenge of standing out in a competitive field, if you enjoy using evidence and new ideas to inform your marketing decisions and if you want to work somewhere big enough to make a difference and small enough to make it happen then we'd love to hear from you.

In addition to a competitive salary and the opportunity to work at our beautiful campus in the heart of York, YSJ employees enjoy access to a superb range of benefits including –

• Generous annual leave entitlement (plus additional leave days during our Christmas closure period)
• Pension scheme
• Health cash plan
• Training and development
• Discounts at a wide range of high street brands and local companies, including shops, cinemas and gyms.

We welcome all applicants and particularly people from minority ethnic backgrounds as they are underrepresented within the university. 

As part of our commitment to providing an inclusive working environment, consideration is given to all request for job share or flexible working arrangements.

Please note that CVs are not accepted in place of the application form.
