Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Communications & Marketing Officer to support the delivery of marketing and communications around the Sky Gardening Challenge across Greater Manchester in 2025.

Building on the success of our pilot in 2024, the Sky Gardening Challenge in 2025 will support  and encourage people across Greater Manchester to green their balconies and window boxes, as a way of urban communities connecting with nature. 

This is a great chance to support the delivery of a dynamic public campaign, engaging competition, and support package, and contribute to nature-based programming at the forefront of the National Trust’s work in cities. 

What it's like to work here

Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40–60% of your working week. 

What you'll be doing

As Senior Communications & Marketing Officer, you would be accountable for planning, delivery, and evaluation of marketing and communications around Sky Gardening Challenge 2025 across Greater Manchester.

You’ll own the comms plan and ensuring this is delivered to time, quality, and budget, supporting the commissioning of content e.g. videos, advice articles for digital/print collateral.

You’ll be responsible for reviewing any design work and copy for digital & print collateral to ensure it aligns with National Trust tone of voice.

You will manage and update National Trust web pages related to Sky Gardening Challenge 2025, develop press releases for key comms moments and partner comms packs, and manage press enquiries ensuring PR opportunities are captured through photo/video in line with allotted budget.

You’ll draft/collate and share any regular comms with participants e.g. newsletters, and support evaluation by gathering stats around marcomms reach and impact.
