INTERVIEWS: W/C 28 APRIL 2025

Wigan & Leigh Hospice is looking for a Marketing and Communications Manager to join our Business Development team.
The hospice is a charity which is firmly embedded in its community and relies on the support of that community to keeps its services running. Often people are surprised that hospices rely so heavily on donations to deliver such essential services, but every day we need to raise £12,000 just to keep the hospice running.
As Marketing & Communications Manager you will play a key role in raising the profile of the hospice, helping our community to better understand the services we offer. You will manage all of the hospice’s internal and external communications channels, finding creative ways to engage patients and their families, supporters, staff and volunteers.
You will work closely with a wide range of colleagues from across the hospice to provide advice and support with marketing and communications activities. This is an opportunity to make a real and meaningful difference to a charity that is very much rooted in this community.
Every day we see first-hand how the hospice supports this community and what impact this has. By joining Team Hospice, you’ll be part of a dynamic, committed and values-led team which makes an important contribution to its community.
If you’re creative, innovative and able to create great content that engages and influences, we want to hear from you.
