Job Description

Hobson’s Choice are looking for a confident, creative individual to join their growing marketing team. While you’ll be part of the core Marketing team, you’ll also collaborate closely with their Design & Sales and Business Development teams – planning and delivering campaigns that educate, attract new contacts, nurture leads, and support client service.

This is an exciting opportunity to make the role your own. If you’re passionate about film and photography, you’ll get to indulge your love of creating and editing – visiting our showrooms and client homes to capture interviews, educational content, spotlight videos, social media content, and events.

Every day is different, and the role offers real creative freedom. If you enjoy coming up with ideas and bringing them to life through impactful campaigns, this could be the perfect fit.

You’ll work directly with the Marketing Director and Marketing Assistant (a previous apprentice) – a fantastic opportunity to bring your creativity and expertise to a business that values fresh thinking and high-quality content.
