To date the vast majority of all marketing has been done by one person (our CEO) though increasingly we recognise the need for greater focus on a coherent look and feel, for a fresh voice and to respond to increased internal demand. This new role has been created to ensure continued cost and resource efficiency as we grow whilst meeting these needs.
This role encompasses four areas. In all instances this individual will work closely with respective internal teams to ensure a full understanding of the opportunity and any specific requirements. We will also ensure that over time, a comms calendar can be developed that minimises last minute requests and affords the longest planning window for all activity.
- Development of campaign materials
- Development and management of creative resources that are used ongoing
- Oversight and development of our wider comms platforms and key messaging
- Oversight and management of all creative assets
You should be a strong ‘all-rounder’. You will have excellent consumer and B2B copywriting skills, should have a creative mindset and an aptitude for campaign-oriented design (making use of software such as Canva). You should be well organised and able to ensure synergies across our various platforms, campaigns and audiences.
You will need to influence across the charity, should have good interpersonal and collaborative skills and be comfortable in working with individuals across the organisation and externally. You will benefit from very good prioritisation and decision making skills. Due to the broad scope of this role and the nature of our work you should be flexible, able to respond to needs as they arise, manage multiple tasks and manage priorities.
This role will be well supported by all members of the team but will need to support the marketing function end to end. You will need to be comfortable with concept development, taking this forward to final product and then on to production. Many of our marketing requirements rely on digital platforms and so an understanding of this medium and of social media messaging will be key.

Ideal opportunity to develop and manage JET’s youth programme delivery in North Wales, helping young people be the best they can be.
Flexible and rewarding position within a dedicated and supportive team, working together to develop and deliver teamwork, leadership and employability programmes that inspire the next generation to aim high.
Join our team and make a real difference!
Our charity, the Jon Egging Trust, is looking for a highly motivated individual with experience of working with young people to manage our Youth Programmes in North Wales. Previous management experience would be beneficial, but not essential if you can demonstrate that you have the key skills required for the position. The role will be responsible for maintaining and creating new relationships with school staff, local partners (including the RAF and corporates) and volunteers to ensure programmes meet the needs of our young people. There will be a requirement for some session delivery in schools or at our partner sites. Working closely with the Area Director West, the post holder will be forward thinking and help to grow JET’s presence locally whilst identifying new opportunities.
The post holder will be based from home with a requirement to travel to schools, businesses and RAF bases within North Wales (predominantly A55 corridor - current schools are on Anglesey but potentially looking to expand to Rhyl and Llandudno / Bangor). Fuel expenses are paid and travel time is included as part of working hours. Core delivery time is usually within the school working day and during school terms only. All other working hours can be managed with flexibility by the post holder to ensure that meetings with partners and colleagues, plus administrative tasks, are completed as required. You will be expected to work at least four days a week.
Child and adult at risk protection policy statement
The Jon Egging Trust is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for everyone involved in its services and activities. The Trust takes its extended moral and legal duty of care very seriously in relation to children, young people, staff and volunteers. We seek to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children and to protect them from harm or abuse when they engage in any of our activities.
Who are we?
The Jon Egging Trust is a dynamic and innovative youth engagement charity supporting young people to realise their potential.
Over the past decade, JET has supported more than 30,000 young lives through our unique motivational and inspirational programmes, based on teamwork, leadership and employability skills, which we deliver in collaboration with corporate and military partners across the UK. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on young people, with those from disadvantaged backgrounds disproportionately affected. Our interventions are needed more than ever. With ambitions to reach out to more young people by 2031, it’s truly an exciting time to join our team.
The Trust was set up in honour of Flt Lt Jon Egging, who lost his life following a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival in 2011. He was coming to the end of his first year with the world-famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team ‘The Red Arrows’ flying in the position of Red 4.
