Life’s purpose is to inspire everyone in North East England to explore and enjoy science and to discover its relevance to their own lives.

Life has an exciting opportunity for a creative, versatile and experienced communications professional to develop and implement communications plans that support their charitable purpose, increase brand awareness and audience engagement – and crucially, drive footfall to the science centre.

An ability to create compelling copy for a variety of audiences is essential.  Whether writing for funders and stakeholders; visitors to the science centre and educationalists, you will be equally at home creating copy that is engaging, impactful and audience appropriate. You will have a solid understanding of media relations and an appreciation of what makes a compelling story that will get attention.

You would join a small, passionate marketing and communications team to make a big difference. Audience focussed, flexible, energetic and brimming with ideas, you will be a self-starter and a team player with a strong creative flair and a positive attitude.   We are looking for someone with an analytical and inquiring mind, combined with the aptitude to build successful relationships and partnerships at all levels.

The successful applicant will be subject to a DBS check. Details of our DBS policy are available on request.
