Communications & Marketing Officer

As a Communications & Marketing Officer forthe South and East Devon portfolio, you'll be responsible for letting people know about the many beautiful places we care for including A la Ronde, Overbeck’s, Wembury, South Milton Sands, Branscombe and Shute Barton.

The South and East Devon portfolio spans from Wembury near Plymouth all the way to Branscombe near Sidmouth. With miles of beautiful coastline and two quirky built properties (A la Ronde and Overbeck’s) to care for, it really is a fascinating and varied place to work.

Although based at Overbeck’s, you’ll get to know our small team based across our portfolio and work closely with the Visitor Operations and Experience Manager and Visitor Experience Officer to share incredible stories and raise awareness about our conservation work. 

Your day-to-day work will cover things like creating new content on our web pages, and making sure that existing information remains relevant and accurate, running social media accounts, creating promotional and information materials and writing and distributing press releases. 

You will be a core member of a very small but friendly Visitor Experiences team who are passionate about bringing engaging stories to life from across the portfolio for a wide range of local and national audiences. You'll be making sure that we're sharing the best stories we can, with a focus on spreading the word about places to visit and letting people know about the Trust’s conservation work.
