Candlelighters is an award-winning Yorkshire charity bringing light and hope to families facing childhood cancer. We've been doing it for over 40 years -- but they're only just getting started.

? Coming up with fresh ideas to keep our message bold, fun, and inspiring.
What you'll bring:

• Confident with social media (and not afraid of an algorithm change or two).
• Copywriting that can flex from heartfelt to high-energy.
• Some design skills (Canva, or similar).
• Organised, deadline-savvy, and a natural multi-tasker.

? Attitude & values:

• Creative, collaborative, and brimming with ideas.
• Happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.

? Why Candlelighters?
Because here, you're not just "doing comms" -- you're helping bring hope to families in their toughest times. And you'll do it with a team that values fun, integrity, and care as much as creativity and results.
