Brand and Marketing Manager

We’re looking for a talented, strategic and creative Brand & Marketing Manager to lead bold campaigns that inspire thousands and help fund life-changing care across Somerset.

At St Margaret’s Hospice Care, marketing isn’t just about promotion – it’s about changing perceptions, raising vital income, and ensuring more people understand that hospice care is about living well for as long as possible. Every campaign you shape, every story you tell makes a real difference to patients and families facing life-limiting illness.

Reporting to the Head of Communications, you will develop and deliver high-impact, multi-channel marketing campaigns that raise awareness, grow engagement, and drive sustainable income.

• Develop and deliver integrated powerful multi‑channel campaigns – from digital and social to print and PR.
• Champion the St Margaret’s brand, ensuring a consistent, creative, and high‑impact identity across every touchpoint.
• Shape compelling narratives that challenge misconceptions about hospice care and help us raise our voice.
• Guide and inspire our Digital Marketing Coordinator and wider creative team.
• Collaborate with fundraising, retail, and clinical teams to maximise the impact of every campaign.
• Use data and insight to measure success, refine messaging, and continually evolve our approach.

This is a hands‑on manager role – part strategist, part creative driver, where no two days are the same.

As part of the community engagement heartbeat, you will help capture and share the energy and impact in real time across our social media channels, including events such as the Colour Run and Light Up a Life. This role includes occasional evening and weekend work.

You’re an experienced marketing and communications professional with a track record of delivering results across digital and traditional channels.

• Experience leading brand and marketing strategies and leading campaigns end‑to‑end.
• Commercial awareness, with the ability to drive engagement, income and supporter growth.
• Creative judgement with the ability to turn ideas into engaging, results‑driven content.
• Copywriting and storytelling skills.
• A proactive, “can‑do” attitude and the ability to thrive under pressure.
• Ability to communicate effectively with senior stakeholders, agencies, and partners.
• Travel across the geographical area covered by the hospice as required.
• A relevant marketing qualification or equivalent experience.

You’ll be energised by a fast‑moving environment – equally comfortable planning strategy as you are rolling up your sleeves to deliver it.

We’re more than a hospice, we’re a community. Every member of our team plays a vital part in ensuring patients and families receive the care and compassion they deserve, helping them to live as well as they can for as long as possible. Join us and use your marketing expertise to create campaigns that truly change lives.
