Marketing Intern

About working here:

We’re currently recruiting a marketing intern to work closely with us across our two wellbeing businesses, Joy Futures and The Joyful Coach.

Joy is at the heart of both of our businesses, and our mission is to help as many people as possible invite more joy into their day to day lives. At Joy Futures, we do this by supporting workplaces to improve employee wellbeing via training and workshops, and at The Joyful Coach we provide content, courses and coaching to help people figure out what would bring them more joy and to start prioritising their own wellbeing.

We care about spreading the joy message far and wide, and growing and sustaining our brands and audiences is a very important element of that - that’s where you come in!

We believe that diversity makes for the best teams and want to make sure that we are representative of our diverse and varied customer base. Research shows that certain groups who see themselves represented most often are more likely to apply for jobs. If you like the sound of what we’re doing here and the job excites you - please please apply!

The role:

This role will be focused on supporting with all elements of our marketing so that we can ensure we’re helping as many people as possible add joy to their lives. Responsibilities will include:

  • Creating Instagram graphics and reels

  • Helping to maintain brand cohesiveness across all formats - eg, slide decks, welcome packs, etc

  • Researching marketing trends

  • Repurposing our existing content

  • Editing video content

  • Managing paid ads

  • Contributing to our marketing strategy moving forward (we don’t need you to be an expert, but we do want to hear your thoughts on how we can make things better!)

What we need from you:

We’re looking for someone who is keen and ambitious - you don’t need to be an expert. You’ll need to:

  • Have a flair for creativity

  • Know your way around Canva, Instagram and LinkedIn (to a basic level - we’re not looking for a pro!)

  • Be hungry to learn and ready to make the most of development opportunities

  • Be excited about contributing to a growing business in the wellbeing sector

The info you need:

This is an internship, suitable for someone who is at the start of their career in marketing and keen to gain some practical experience (you don’t have to be a recent graduate and there’s no age limit!). We’re not simply looking for a freelancer - you will be part of the team and have access to all employee benefits such as a training budget and staff library. There is also the potential for this role to become permanent following the internship if that feels like a good fit for both us and you! 

  • We’re looking for someone to join us for 1 day per week (we’re flexible on what day this is)

  • The role will require hybrid working - we have an office in Leeds City Centre which you’ll need to come to at least once a month

  • The role is paid at the Real Living Wage level - £11.05 per hour

  • The internship will last for 2 months, and ideally we’d like you to start in early June

What happens next?

To apply for this position, we’d like you to answer the following 3 questions using whatever format works best for you, whether that be a written application, a video or something else entirely! All applications will be given equal consideration regardless of format, so please select a method that allows you to shine. 

  • Why do you want to work with us at The Joyful Coach and Joy Futures?

  • Why are you interested in this role specifically?

  • Is there anything else you want to tell us?

Please submit your application to Sophie at: sophie@sophiecliff.com. The deadline to apply is Sunday 24th April. 

We’ll be selecting 3 candidates to interview and candidates will be selected based on the criteria of this job ad. All applicants will be notified about the status of their application by Friday 29th April, although it will not be possible to provide tailored feedback. 

Interviews will be informal and you’ll have visibility of any questions or tasks ahead of time so that you can prepare. They will take place in Leeds city centre week commencing 16th May.
