Help us tell the stories that matter.
Every day at Garden House Hospice Care, incredible things happen because of the generosity of our community. Behind every donation, event and fundraising campaign is a story that deserves to be told.
We're looking for a creative, organised and enthusiastic Marketing & Communications Assistant to join our friendly team for six months. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience across every aspect of marketing and communications while making a real difference to patients and families across North Hertfordshire and Stevenage.
No two days will be the same. One day you could be filming at a fundraising event, the next interviewing a supporter for a case study, creating social media content, designing campaign materials or helping secure local media coverage.
If you're someone who enjoys being creative, loves writing, has a good eye for photography or video, and wants to build a varied portfolio of marketing experience, we'd love to hear from you.

- Creating engaging content for social media, our website and digital campaigns.
- Capturing photographs and video content at events and around the hospice.
- Editing short videos and creating digital content.
- Writing stories about our patients, supporters, volunteers and staff.
- Supporting PR opportunities and media coverage.
- Helping promote fundraising events and campaigns.
- Assisting with email communications, printed materials and website updates.
- Providing day-to-day support to help keep our busy marketing team running smoothly.
We're looking for someone who...
- Is creative, enthusiastic and full of ideas.
- Has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Enjoys creating engaging content for digital platforms.
- Has an eye for detail and strong organisational skills.
- Is confident using social media.
- Can manage a varied workload and meet deadlines.
- Enjoys meeting people and telling their stories.
- Is willing to learn, take initiative and work as part of a supportive team.
- Experience of Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, video editing or website content management would be an advantage.
