Marketing Assistant

Use your creativity to make a real difference.

At St Luke’s Hospice, every conversation, every post, every campaign helps us support patients and families at the most important times of their lives. We’re looking for a creative, organised and enthusiastic Marketing Assistant to join our Marketing & Communications team and help bring our story to life.

This is a hands‑on, varied role where no two days are the same. One day you might be creating social media content, the next updating the website, supporting a fundraising campaign, visiting a retail shop, or designing eye‑catching posters.

If you love writing, enjoy social media, have a good eye for design, and want your work to truly matter, we’d love to hear from you.

As our Marketing Assistant, you’ll support the delivery of St Luke’s marketing, communications and digital activity across multiple channels. You’ll help ensure our messaging is engaging, compassionate, consistent and aligned with our brand.

You’ll work closely with the Marketing & Communications Team, building positive relationships across clinical teams, fundraising, retail and corporate services.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to grow their marketing career in a supportive, purpose‑driven environment.
