You’ll work closely with both Marketing and Talent Acquisition, helping us tell authentic stories, promote opportunities, and build a strong employer brand in a competitive market. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Create engaging content to support recruitment campaigns across social media, careers pages, blogs, and internal channels  

• Plan, film, and edit video content (e.g. employee stories, day-in-the-life, event highlights)  

• Write compelling blog content to showcase employee stories, company culture, and key initiatives  

• Identify content opportunities and proactively suggest new ideas or formats  

• Support the delivery of recruitment marketing campaigns and initiatives  

• Work with stakeholders across the business to gather stories and content  

• Assist with promoting events, early careers initiatives, and internal mobility campaigns  

• Monitor content performance and suggest improvements based on insights

• Identify content opportunities and proactively suggest new ideas or formats  

What We’re Looking For: 

Essential Criteria: 

• Currently studying towards, or already obtained, at least a Level 6 bachelor's degree in a relevant subject such as Marketing, Communications, CAM, Media Studies, Business etc 

• A self-starter who uses initiative and isn’t afraid to take ownership 

• Creative thinker with the ability to generate fresh, engaging ideas 

• Strong communication skills - both written and verbal 

• A genuine Interest in marketing, branding, or content creation 

• Ability to work at pace and respond quickly to opportunities 

• Strong team player with the ability to take direction and collaborate effectively

• Ability to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment  

• Willingness to explore generative technologies (e.g., Generative AI) to drive innovation 

Desirable Criteria: 

• Experience creating content for social media (personal or academic is fine) 

• Basic video filming and editing skills (e.g. CapCut, Premiere Pro, Canva, etc.) 

• Understanding of platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and what content performs well on each 

• Basic understanding of content performance metrics (e.g. likes, engagement rate, reach, click-through rate)  

• Exposure to analytics tools such as Google Analytics or in-platform insights (e.g. LinkedIn or Instagram analytics) 

• Experience working on campaigns, projects, or creative briefs 

What You’ll Gain: 

• Real responsibility from day one; this is not a “shadowing” role 

• The opportunity to build a strong portfolio of content and campaigns 

• Experience working across both marketing and recruitment 

• Exposure to stakeholders across the business 

• The chance to shape how we attract talent and tell our story 

The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive Here: 

• You don’t wait to be told what to do; you spot gaps and act 

• You’re curious, ideas-driven, and always thinking “how could this be better?” 

• You’re comfortable putting yourself forward and trying new things 

• You enjoy creating - whether that’s video, social posts, or storytelling 

• You can take feedback on board and continuously improve 

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE APPLYING: 

Working Arrangements: This role is hybrid. Upon joining, you will be expected to work in your contracted office for one day per week.  

Travel expectations: At Kainos, we work with a diverse range of clients and some of our projects require travel. If travel were required, we will endeavour to keep this to a minimum and ensure sufficient notice is provided.  

Popularity of scheme: We’re looking forward to receiving and reviewing your application. We strongly encourage you to apply early. If a high number of applications are received, this role may close earlier than the advertised deadline. In cases where a large volume of applications is received, the recruitment team will apply enhanced criteria to refine the shortlisting process.
