Temporary Marketing Lead / Manager

We are seeking a marketing specialist for an immediate starting fixed-term contract of 3 months to cover a period of absence in our marketing and communications team. We are ideally looking for someone for a minimum of four days per week but could be flexible for the right person.

We are able to consider candidates who want to be employed on a fixed-term contract or candidates who wish to be self-employed.

Remuneration would be the equivalent of £40-45k per annum if the post was full-time. Candidates who are interested in proposing a self-employed day-rate for the work would also be considered and should contact us to discuss their proposed rate.

Key duties:

1. Review marketing briefs from internal teams and lead the development of a marketing and communications plan within agreed timescales.
2. Oversee the implementation of the marketing and communications plans, ensuring team members are coordinated and supported to deliver against agreed deadlines.
3. Attend, and where necessary chair, project group meetings to review progress against plans.
4. Use information gathered at progress review meetings to suggest additional marketing and communications actions which could be implemented and ensure those actions are implemented and managed within the relevant project plan.
5. Chair a weekly marketing and communications project meeting to review team priorities and identify any issues with meeting project deadlines.
6. Deliver specific marketing and communications actions, including producing copy, updating webpages, producing and sending emails, creating simple design files where additional support on certain projects is needed.
7. Act as a sounding board for marketing and communications team members and review and feedback on work where necessary. Provide advice and guidance to team members.
8. Coordinate the review of marketing and communications activity, including collating key response and engagement metrics for specific activities.
9. Where necessary, take the lead on specific marketing and communications projects, as directed by the Director of Income Generation, Marketing and Communications.

We would be interested in hearing from people with the following skills, knowledge and experience:

• A recognised marketing qualification (e.g. CIM, IDM) or significant experience of delivering successful marketing and communications campaigns across a range of channels
• Proven experience of managing a marketing and communications team or agency team to deliver multiple projects against agreed deadlines

About us:

Tŷ Hafan's ambition is that when a child's life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. Sadly, we know that thousands of families in Wales are struggling alone through fear, exhaustion and uncertainty that comes with caring for a child whose life will be short. We believe that no family should have to live this on their own and we are determined to walk alongside every family through life, death and beyond.

At Tŷ Hafan we are experts at caring for children with life-shortening conditions and our services support families in our hospice, in community settings, local hospitals and in families' homes. We understand that needs of each child and their family are unique, and we know that caring for a child with life-shortening condition is often extremely demanding. Our aim is to make sure that no one is doing this alone. Our colleagues, volunteers and supporter are crucial in the delivery of our ambition - we know that everyone plays a huge part in making sure that no family faces their child's short life alone.
