HOW TO APPLY…

As we’re hiring for a marketing and communications role, we need to see exceptional attention to detail, spelling and grammar, plus if you have a bit of creative flair, be sure to chuck that in too. Even though this isn’t a design role, we’re looking for a creative and strategic person, so don’t be afraid to think outside of the box with your application.

• Ensure you have a fully up-to-date and well-laid out CV (Word documents are fine but extra points if you send in something a little bit different that catches our attention)
• Rustle up a beautifully crafted cover letter explaining why you’re the perfect person both in terms of experience and personality (We gauge both attributes equally).
• If you have any examples of marketing materials, campaigns, content, blog posts or even personal writing projects that you’ve previously worked on, be sure to send them in with a brief explanation of why they’re important.
