Job Description:
Woodgreen is looking for an experienced, highly creative copywriter who wants to use their skills for a good cause. Are you our perfect match?
We’re dedicated to helping pets and their people at every step of the pet ownership journey. And, of course, we’re also here to help pets in need - giving them safe shelter, specialist care, lots of fuss and a brighter future.
This is a 12 month fixed-term contract for a period of maternity cover until December 2025. With at least two years of relevant experience, your portfolio will need to include a diverse mix of outstanding copywriting - from web and email content, including case studies and feature-length articles, to brochures, leaflets, posters, and everything in between.
As our copywriter, you’ll be working alongside our senior copywriter, stories and content officer and senior creative content manager to bring the charity’s amazing work to life. At the heart of this role is telling the stories of the pets and people we help at Woodgreen. You’ll play a key role in creating the content needed to do this - crafting impactful copy that resonates with our audiences. And you’ll also help to champion Woodgreen’s tone of voice and key messages - collaborating with teams across the organisation to ensure our communications are on-brand.
We’re looking for someone with:
*Creative flair - you’ll need to harness our brand through engaging copy that makes an impact.
*Strong storytelling skills - powerful stories show our supporters the difference they make to pets and people.
*Attention to detail - you’ll be proofreading materials across the organisation, so an eye for a misplaced comma or an errant full stop is a must.
*Previous relevant experience - at an agency or in-house.
*An ability to work well in a team - you’ll work closely with our design, comms and marketing colleagues and liaise regularly with clients across the organisation and external agencies. So communicating effectively and developing strong working relationships are crucial.
*An adaptable style - you’ll be writing a mix of long and short copy for multiple channels and audiences, adapting tone of voice and key messages where necessary.
*The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues to support our storytelling abilities.
*Excellent project management and organisational skills, as well as exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
*A portfolio brimming with evidence of fantastic writing skills. And of course, a strong desire to use this talent for a great cause like ours at Woodgreen.
Before you take the next step, please note that this role will require you to occasionally spend some time at our centre in Godmanchester.
The starting salary for this position is £28,168 - £31,299 per annum depending on experience. In addition to this you will receive;
*36 days annual leave per year (inclusive of bank holidays) rising by 1 day each year to 40 days after five years
*Up to 8% employer pension contributions
*Support towards healthcare costs (cashplan)
*Free access to Headspace
*Life assurance (4x salary)
*25% discount in our charity shop
Please supply either a link to an online portfolio of your writing and/or PDFs of relevant copy that you have delivered with your application.
This vacancy may close earlier should we receive high volumes of applications. Interviews may commence prior to the closing date.
