An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Dementia Oxfordshire as a Marketing Assistant and Administrator.

Dementia Oxfordshire is a service provided by Age UK Oxfordshire. Dementia Oxfordshire provides vital support for people living with dementia, their families and carers. We want more people to know and understand the impact and value of this work.

You will provide marketing support to the service Marketing Officer, helping ensure the service digital presence is fresh, current, and updated with the latest information.

Specifically, our presence is maintained through our independent WordPress website and Facebook account, and through the AUKO digital platforms. You will assist in the creation of marketing collateral to support the service Fundraising and Awareness team, using InDesign and Canva, ensuring the service brand remains aligned with the AUKO brand.

Additionally, you will have some administrative duties, responsible for coordinating the service referrals team, including taking your turn processing referrals, and coordinating the service support line. These administrative duties will take approximately 10 hours per week.

Dementia Oxfordshire has its own brand, which is aligned to the AUKO brand, and has its own service marketing plan. You will assist the Marketing Officer in the development and delivery of that plan.

Overall, this role will help ensure the team can deliver the best support for those living with dementia and their carers, raise awareness about dementia generally and highlight the flagship of support provided in Oxfordshire.

You will report to the Head of Service and work closely with the service Marketing Officer and wider AUKO marketing team.
