Your role will also involve monitoring and analysing campaign performance, using key metrics and data insights to refine strategies and enhance effectiveness. Collaboration is central to this position-you will work alongside the National Marketing Manager, other Regional Marketing Officers, and key stakeholders to ensure consistency across all marketing efforts. This is an exciting opportunity to use your marketing expertise to make a meaningful impact, helping to transform foster care recruitment and change children's lives for the better.
About you We are looking for an experienced, creative, and strategic marketing professional who is passionate about making a difference. You will have a strong background in marketing, communications, or digital media, with expertise in campaign planning, content creation, and brand management.

Strong analytical skills will be essential, as you'll need to assess campaign performance, interpret data, and adapt strategies to maximise impact. Most importantly, you will be driven by the opportunity to use your skills for a meaningful cause-helping more children find loving, stable foster homes within their communities.
