Marketing and Events Assistant

Are you someone who loves turning ideas into action, enjoys juggling creative marketing with real-world delivery, and wants to be part of a team that genuinely cares about quality, people and success?

We're looking for a Marketing & Events Assistant to join our small but mighty team at SCCO — an organisation that delivers high-quality professional education, runs inspiring events across the UK and Europe, and believes that great work comes from commitment, collaboration and a sense of fun.

About the role

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days look the same. You'll be supporting our Marketing & Operations Manager and working closely with our admin and finance colleagues to help promote, deliver and evaluate our programme of courses and events.

If you enjoy:

• Writing great copy
• Creating campaigns that actually get noticed
• Seeing events come to life (and making sure they run smoothly)
• Working in a supportive team where your ideas are welcome

…then you'll feel right at home.

What you'll be doing

You'll be involved in the full mix of marketing and events activity, including:

• Helping to shape and deliver our online presence across website, email and social media (especially LinkedIn & Instagram)
• Creating engaging content and campaign copy that reflects our purpose and values
• Scheduling posts, managing channels, and keeping our digital presence fresh and relevant
• Updating website content so everything works together and impact can be measured
• Supporting course promotion with targeted, cross-platform campaigns
• Assisting with market research and spotting trends and opportunities
• Getting involved in brainstorming, problem-solving and idea generation
• Supporting the coordination and delivery of events and courses
• Working with the admin team on bookings, enquiries, venues and logistics
• Helping prepare reports and insights so we can keep improving what we do

This is a role where you'll learn a lot, take on responsibility, and see the direct impact of your work.

About you

We're not looking for perfection — we're looking for someone who's curious, capable, organised and enjoys getting stuck in.

You'll likely have:

• At least 12 months' experience in a marketing role (B2B a bonus)
• A marketing qualification (or be working towards one)
• Strong copywriting skills and a good eye for tone and audience
• Experience with social media, email marketing and scheduling tools
• Some familiarity with websites (WordPress ideal)
• Experience using HubSpot (or confidence learning it)
• Great organisational skills and the ability to juggle priorities
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Confidence working independently while knowing when to ask for support

Why work with us?

• You'll be trusted, valued and supported
• Your skills and commitment will be noticed
• You'll work with people who care deeply about doing things well
• There's space to grow, learn and take on more
• We're serious about success — but we're human, friendly and collaborative while we get there
• 22 days annual leave and pension.
• Free Parking on site
