Do you have a passion for creating engaging content, a flair for producing high-quality copywriting, and a keen eye for detail?

We are seeking a Marketing Assistant to join our dynamic team. This varied role offers the chance to make a difference in Leicester’s city centre, supporting the delivery of high-profile events, campaigns, and initiatives that enhance Leicester’s appeal as a vibrant hub for all who live, work and study here.

BID Leicester is a not-for-profit organisation funded by local businesses. Our small but vibrant team is committed to enhancing Leicester’s city centre through high-profile events, campaigns, and initiatives aimed at raising the profile of the city, making the area cleaner, greener, safer and more attractive, and providing a strong business voice.

In this role, working closely with our Marketing Executive, you’ll help to deliver our objectives, shape and amplify the BID’s communications across social media, newsletters, websites, and other channels. You’ll assist in promoting our unique projects and sub-brands, such as Independent Leicester, The Leicester Gift Card, and GIVE Leicester, ensuring they reach both business and public audiences. The ideal candidate will bring creativity and meticulous attention to detail, combined with strong copywriting and organisational skills. A confident communicator and team player, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with local businesses, stakeholders, and the community to boost city-centre awareness and participation in our initiatives.

This part-time role (32 hours per week) is based in Leicester city centre, with some flexibility in working hours and the need for occasional weekend work to support the promotion of events and campaigns. In this varied role you’ll be part of a dedicated team, both working collaboratively and independently to help bring BID Leicester’s vision to life.

Apply by submitting your CV and covering letter to [email protected] by Friday, 6th December. Interviews will be held on Tuesday 17th December.

Working with us as an external provider:

We often work with suppliers to help deliver the projects that we design – from design and videography to artists, training providers and public art installations, there are a wide range of opportunities for businesses to work with BID Leicester.

When identifying new providers we will issue a Request For Quotes (RFQ) document, outlining our requirements and inviting proposals from interested suppliers. RFQ documents will be sent to providers we are aware of who may be interested, and the opportunity will be posted on our social media channels and our website below with contact details. Proposals are usually reviewed by a panel of our board members who decide to appoint a provider.

We are keen to work with local suppliers and invest in the local economy but our decisions will always be driven by the quality of proposals that we receive.
