Digital Marketing Assistant — Internship

Belvoir Castle — Historic Estate
· Innovation Leader
· Digital Frontier

Belvoir Castle is the historic stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, set within a stunning Leicestershire estate between Grantham and Melton Mowbray. Our vision is to share the history and beauty of the Estate through delivering exceptional experiences — for our local community, visitors from across the country, and guests from around the world.

We are committed to preserving, growing, and developing the Estate in a sustainable way — honouring our past whilst boldly embracing the future. And that future, increasingly, is digital.

This is a genuine paid graduate role — not a coffee‑making internship. From day one, you will be a real member of the marketing team, with real responsibility, working across all of Belvoir Castle's commercial channels.

Belvoir Castle is not just one of England's finest historic estates — we are positioning ourselves as a leader in digital innovation in the heritage, hospitality, and events sector. We are investing in technology, in mobile, in AI, and in the people who will drive that forward.

If you are the right person — curious, driven, technically minded, and hungry to learn — this role is a launchpad. Not just into marketing. Into the full digital stack.

This role is open to recent graduates ready to start their career in marketing and digital.

• Graduates from Marketing, Digital Media, Computer Science, or related fields who want hands‑on experience in a real marketing and digital team
• Career changers or self‑taught candidates with demonstrable digital experience — coding, content, campaigns, or personal projects
• Graduates looking for a paid route into marketing and tech, with a genuine pathway to a permanent role for the right person

What matters most is your passion, your work ethic, and what you can bring to the team.
