Our Organisation
This role is advertised by ELLG Professional Services. Part of East Lancashire Learning Group, ELLG Professional Services provides expert business support services to the wider Group.

East Lancashire Learning Group is made up of three merged colleges:
Nelson and Colne College, Accrington and Rossendale College and Lancashire Adult Learning. The Group is a beacon for teaching and learning excellence. It is an innovative provider; a research hub for teaching and learning, with a clear ambition to deliver the best possible experience and outcomes for learners.

Are you a creative, ambitious marketer who loves turning ideas into campaigns that genuinely change lives - for people and for businesses?

East Lancashire Learning Group (ELLG) - bringing together our outstanding colleges, university centre and specialist training provider - is looking for a Marketing Executive to play a key role in how we tell our story to the outside world. You'll help to promote our full offer to employers, apprentices, adults and young people, shaping how they see us and why they choose to work and study with us.

This is a hands-on, varied role at the heart of a busy, supportive Marketing Team. One day you might be developing a targeted campaign that helps employers recruit the right apprentice or upskill their staff; the next, you could be creating content that inspires a school leaver to choose A Levels or T Levels with us or encouraging adults to return to learning or progress to degree-level study.

If you enjoy switching between B2B and B2C marketing, and you love finding the right message for different audiences, you'll feel right at home.

You’ll have the space to bring fresh ideas, creativity and energy, while also building your strategic skills - using insight, data and feedback to shape what we do next. In return, you’ll see the impact of your work in very real ways: growing partnerships with employers, supporting apprentices into careers, and helping learners of all ages to Be Extraordinary.

The successful candidate will be primarily based at Lancashire Adult Learning but will be required to travel across sites.
