About the role: Now more than ever digital communication is a fundamental part of our everyday life, from shopping online to providing unbounded possibilities for learning. At Leigh Academies Trust (LAT) we are moving forward with a digital-first approach which is part of our Vision 2025 statement. LAT’s in-house Marketing Department is continuously developing new ways of interacting and communicating with our stakeholders through various aspects of marketing such as graphic design, animation, promotional video & photography and online services. 

This is an excellent opportunity to join a passionate team during an exciting time as we expand our services across 30 academies as well as our internal businesses. If you are a highly-motivated and enthusiastic Web Content Assistant with previous experience or looking for your first role after leaving university, then we really want to hear from you.

About the Marketing Department: LAT’s central Marketing Department is made up of three key areas; these are Design, Media and Web. All three of these teams work collaboratively with clients - the central Trust and its academies. The objective is to deliver an effective and consistent message to internal and external stakeholders, including prospective pupils and their families, across a range of mediums. Marketing is the core function of the department and any successful candidate will be encouraged to seek new and innovative ways to engage audiences across the breadth of LAT.

Being part of the Marketing Department you will have the opportunity to learn new skills from the rest of the team and have access to a wide range of hardware and software.
