The Role
Do you love telling stories through video, design, and social media? Are you excited by the idea
of creating content that sparks engagement and builds community?
We’re seeking a Marketing Communications Specialist to join our small but passionate team.
You’ll report to the Head of Marketing, Communications & Admissions, working across digital

and traditional channels to:

• Grow our platforms and audiences,
• Share the authentic stories of our students and staff,
• Support admissions and community events,
• Bring fresh ideas to how we connect with families in Ireland and abroad.

This is a role where no two days are the same—you could be filming a hockey match, editing a
reel, brainstorming campaign ideas, tweaking SEO, or capturing behind-the-scenes moments
from a school play.
It’s a chance to learn, experiment, and build your skills in digital advertising, SEO, content
creation, and campaign management while making a real impact in a unique environment.

What You’ll Do

• Own and grow our social media channels with creative, engaging content.
• Capture authentic stories from around the school—photos, videos, blogs, reels.
• Experiment with formats and trends to boost reach and engagement.
• Keep our website fresh and user-friendly, with an eye on SEO and UX.
• Support school events by creating content before, during, and after.
• Collaborate with staff and students to bring their achievements to life.
• Work alongside brand, web development, and digital advertising agencies, as well

as professional photographers and videographers.

• Track and analyse performance, sharing insights to shape future campaigns.
• Stay curious—spot opportunities on emerging platforms and new trends.

What We’re Looking For

• Some proven marketing experience (agency, in-house, freelance, or even strong

internships).

• A 3rd-level qualification in marketing, communications, or digital media—or equivalent

practical experience.

• A natural storyteller who enjoys people as much as pixels.
• Strong digital skills: Canva/Adobe, video/photo editing, WordPress, MailChimp, social

scheduling tools.

• Confidence with planning, organisation, and admin (we need someone who can keep

campaigns and content on track).

• A self-starter who’s proactive, curious, and not afraid to try new ideas.
• An eye for design and detail, matched with excellent writing and communication skills.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• A portfolio or examples of your work—Instagram Reels, TikToks, blogs, campaigns—

where your creativity really shines.

• Experience in SEO, digital ads, or growing platforms.

A collaborative, can-do mindset: you thrive on working with people and bringing their
ideas to life.
Why Join Us?
This is a unique chance to develop your career in marketing while working in a creative,
supportive environment. You’ll gain hands-on experience across digital advertising, content
creation, campaign strategy, and community engagement—skills that will set you up for
long-term success.

We also offer:

• Competitive salary.
• Generous annual leave and sick pay scheme.
• Onsite catering, tea/coffee breaks, and refreshments.
• Free access to on-campus fitness and leisure facilities.
• Tuition support for approved courses.
• Wellbeing supports: Employee Assistance Programme, library talks, wellbeing week, flu

jabs.

• Fun extras: family day BBQ, social events, book club.
• Free secure onsite parking, access to EV chargers and secure bike racks.
• Adjacent to Liffey Valley Shopping Centre with multiple bus options.

And best of all—you’ll get to work in a stunning 80-acre parkland campus on the River Liffey,
surrounded by a creative, diverse, and welcoming community.
If you’re ready to grow your skills, share great stories, and make a real impact, we’d love
to hear from you.
