Job Summary

Based at our Dinosaur HQ in Orpington, you will be part of a small, friendly team and working closely with our Creative Director in our home office. You’ll love managing our social media accounts, filming, editing films and content, creating marketing copy and more!

Job Description

This role is perfect for a well-organised ideas person, with excellent grammar and great attention to detail, who's creative, enthusiastic and productive. You'll be experienced at making fun, engaging content and marketing materials. The aim is to attract new clients such as Festivals, Zoos, Farm Parks, Castles, Town Councils and more!

Our dinosaurs travel nationwide and abroad and bring laughter and educational entertainment, along with a little mischief and madcap fun!

This position is fully office-based in Orpington and remote work is NOT possible, as the office is a hive of creativity and activity, and is a hub of information, resources (and dinosaurs!)

Accepting full-time applications ONLY.

We are looking for friendly, positive and flexible people with a sunny disposition who are great team players. We also value individuals who can work independently, remain productive under pressure, and adapt quickly when priorities change during busy periods.

We also have a sweet-natured cat, so a lover of dinosaurs and cats would be preferred!

We may be interviewing and recruiting before the deadline!
