Marketing Assistant

The Role
People Management Partners is a Human Resources Consultancy. We work with small businesses to help them grow by making sure they have the right people processes in place. We are looking for a Marketing Assistant to join the team and take day to day ownership of our marketing activities and support the smooth running of our sales processes. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has some marketing experience to develop their skills and put their own stamp on things. Whilst this is initially a kickstart placement, for the right candidate there is potential for this role to become an apprenticeship and then a permanent member of the team. We are a small team so you will work closely with the HR Support and Consulting teams to learn about HR in small businesses, alongside there being some investment in specific marketing skills training.

Preferably you will be based within a commutable distance to Sevenoaks. Whilst initially the role will be home based we are planning to open an admin office in Sevenoaks later in 2021, where this role will be based. Flexible/remote working will still be available once the admin office is open.
