AEM is the leading regional autism charity in the East Midlands. We are looking for a creative and proactive Marketing and Communications Officer to lead content creation and platform growth for a new social enterprise, while linking into our existing charitable activities.

The role also involves analysing performance, optimising content, and ensuring all activity aligns with wider marketing and business objectives.

You will have proven experience managing social media accounts for brands, with a strong understanding of what drives engagement and growth. You are confident behind the camera as well as in editing, with solid videography skills using tools such as CapCut or Adobe Premiere.
