MARKETING ASSISTANT

Every week, people of all ages engage with us. Some struggle with their mental health. Some feel isolated. Others have never had a chance to express themselves. Here at Green Shoes Arts, they find connection, confidence, and community. We never charge for our sessions, and everyone is welcome.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Marketing based student to support our Artistic Director with an ambitious new Marketing Strategy, which is being produced with the support of consultancy and our board of trustees.

This is a great opportunity to join a charity looking to adapt to the challenges of the sector in 2025. You will be guided by our Artistic Director, but given autonomy to make decisions that will directly impact strategy. This is a great chance to put your theory into practice and earn whilst you do so!

We want Green Shoes Arts to continue changing lives in ten years’ time. Join us today so we can thrive tomorrow. If you believe in what we do and think you could be a great fit, apply today.
