Communications and Marketing Manager

Benefits: £34,000 - £39,000 per annum, full time or part time short days considered, super flexible employer, home working, 29 days annual leave plus bank holidays, 10% employer pension contribution. 

Who we are: Independent Higher Education (IHE) is the UK membership organisation and formal representative body which exists to support, develop and promote independent providers of higher education, professional training and pathways.

IHE’s 77 members include household names such as the Royal Academy and Le Cordon Bleu, industry leading technical institutes Futureworks and Met Film School, new providers the Dyson Institute and TEDI-London and global education pathway providers Kaplan and Study Group. 

The Role: We have a vacancy for a Communications and Marketing Manager who will deliver high quality communications across a range of platforms. Working with the Director of External Relations, you will help build IHE’s reputation and ensure IHE communications and marketing activity drives stakeholder engagement. 

This role offers the opportunity to lead on strategic PR campaigns and implement the brand identity of IHE to help grow awareness of our work. Day-to-day, you will manage the IHE website and create copy for marketing emails, newsletters, and social media posts, using analytics to track performance and inform future activity.

The Candidate: This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience of designing and delivering multi-channel communications plans, good working knowledge of social media, and a flair for writing impactful content. 

We are looking for someone with high levels of independence and autonomy and brilliant attention to detail. As a remote worker, you will need to be able to manage your time independently but be proactive in asking questions of the team. Above all, you will be an enthusiastic team player and willing to pick up and run with whatever is thrown at you. 

Working for IHE: IHE is small but powerful – we currently have 11 full and part time roles which means that we are all flexible, helping out teammates with whatever the priority is. We don’t have an office so we all work from home, meeting up with some or all of the team one to two times per month on average. IHE pays travel expenses for these trips. 

We understand that while work is important, it’s not your whole life so we pride ourselves on being a very flexible employer. We are open to part time working, working at times convenient to you, and job shares. We also have an employee assistance programme to support you when things are difficult. 

How to apply: To apply, please download the job description from our website and send your application via email. Please note that we will not consider any applications via other channels, or without a covering letter.
