Job Summary

We're an independent, family\-run hotel and events venue on a 25\-acre estate near Castle Donington. We've been hosting barn weddings since the early 1980s, and today we also run 20 bedrooms, corporate away\-days, meetings and private parties. Donington Estate has been independently carbon audited and is climate\-positive.

We're hiring our first dedicated marketing and sales lead. Working two days a week with full ownership.

The job: fill the diary

You'll write a sales and marketing plan for each side of the business \- hotel, weddings, corporate, private parties \- and then deliver it. Success is measured in enquiries. This is about getting more of the right people to find us and get in touch, not about putting on our own events.

You'll own:

  • Social media \- strategy, content, community, paid

  • The website, blog and SEO

  • Campaigns that fill the quiet weeks

  • Competitor analysis across weddings, meetings and the hotel

  • The numbers: enquiries, sources, conversion
You'll report to the Director and work side by side with our Operations Manager. No team to manage, no layers, or waiting for sign\-off. The successful candidate will be genuinely proactive, as happy writing the plan as writing the post.

You'll need

  • A few years of marketing experience / experience in a similar role

  • Genuine all\-rounder skills: strategy, copy, social, website, analytics

  • Strong writing \- we sell on words and pictures

  • A combination of commercial mindedness and creativity

  • Your own transport; we're in the countryside

  • Hospitality, wedding or venue experience is strongly preferred, but not a must.

£16,000 for a two\-day week (£40,000 full\-time equivalent). In\-person attendance to DE74 2RN. Free parking. Beautiful surroundings. Friendly team.

Pay: £16,000\.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Company pension

  • Cycle to work scheme

  • Employee discount
