Help us tell our story and shape what people think, see and feel about our school.
We are looking for a creative, proactive and ideas-driven Marketing & Communications Officer to take our communications to the next level-building on our current success and helping us connect with even more families, students and partners.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact in a vibrant school community, where every day brings something worth sharing.

· Flexibility over working days and patterns
· Opportunity to shape and grow the school's profile and reputation

Your work will include:
· Creating engaging content using your photography, videography and creative skills

· Identifying and developing compelling stories from across school life
· Supporting and attending events to capture high-quality content
· Working with colleagues to produce marketing materials for a wide range of activities
· Supporting alumni engagement, fundraising initiatives and community partnerships
· Ensuring consistency and quality across all communications as a brand ambassador, Denefield School would like all candidates to answer specific questions for the personal statement section. For reference, here is a preview of the questions/headings:
1. Tell us about a piece of content (social post, campaign, video, or publication) you've created that you're particularly proud of. What made it effective and what impact did it have?
2. Please outline your skills and experience that make you a suitable candidate for this post.
3. What skills, strengths or experiences (from any sector) would you bring to this role, particularly in creating engaging digital or visual content?
4. This role involves capturing and sharing everyday school life. How would you approach identifying and turning ordinary moments into engaging content?
5. This role offers flexibility in working patterns and requires occasional events attendance. How would you organise your time to manage competing priorities and make the most of this flexibility?
We are looking for someone who:
· Is creative, enthusiastic and full of ideas
· Enjoys storytelling and creating engaging content
· Is confident using social media and digital tools
· Has a strong eye for detail and visual presentation
· Builds positive relationships with others
· Is organised, adaptable and enjoys working on a variety of projects
