Job Description

The Role

The position is a full-time maternity cover role within our established Marketing Department, with the possibility of a permanent position upon completion of the contract.

We are looking for a creative and proactive Marketing & Design Assistant to join our small Marketing Department. The successful candidate will contribute both written and visual content for our digital and print publications, while also providing administrative support when required.

Your work will inform and engage target audiences across Hobbs Rehabilitation and The MiNT Academy. Our ideal candidate is a team-spirited, skilled and imaginative communicator with an eye for both detail and design, who has a can-do attitude and is experienced in managing multiple projects at one time. If you can grasp project requirements quickly and offer valuable insight, we'd like to meet you.

Although we require you to follow industry guidelines and do not expect you to reinvent the wheel, we would like you to express your own ideas and be willing to work collaboratively on projects with the existing marketing team and wider business individuals.

The position would be suitable for an individual based in the South of England who holds a full UK driving licence and is able to travel regularly to at least one of our centres in Bristol, Chedington, Liss, Salisbury, or Winchester, with occasional travel to other Hobbs Rehabilitation locations as required.
