Recruitment Marketing & Employer Brand Manager (MAT Cover)

About The Role

You can do a lot of things in 12 months. Train for the London Marathon, learn a whole new language or even go off and have a baby… And funnily enough, our Recruitment Marketing & Employer Brand Manager has decided to do just that. So we need someone to come in and take the reins whilst she’s swapping content for nappies and strategy for sleepless nights.
