About Us
The UpReach Group is a recruitment and investment group. We are one of the region’s best examples of a company doing the job the right way. Why? We want to disrupt the recruitment industry, which has hardly changed in the last 40 years. Together with our partners, we feel that we offer our clients and employees something they want to believe in, as we aim to be different, unique and an alternative to the norm.
Combine this with our vision to transform this industry into something to meet the needs of the future business world, we need real innovators, people with a passion for change and who want to be part of the solution.
With an annual group turnover of £20 million and operating in several key sectors, we are perfectly positioned to offer people great training and career development from the professionals within the group.
At our core, everything we do is around putting YOU first, which we know creates the perfect environment for people to succeed and feel good about themselves. Furthermore, everyone is trusted and empowered to make decisions on their business, as we feel this brings out the best in people. We are always looking for new ideas to do the job and welcome new thoughts on how we can make our business better and future proof. Like many businesses, we have learnt a lot from Covid and have now adopted a more flexible approach on how we work.
The role
We are looking for a part time person to join our investment recruitment group to help grow and support the various businesses as we look to scale our offering. Your role will be to oversee all of our marketing and brands with an obvious focus on social media, as this is a large part of recruitment. You will be tasked with creating engaging content across these digital platforms, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, to increase brand engagement and maximise commercial outcomes. Fundamentally, we are looking for someone who really understands how to promote our group as one thing is clear, recruitment is changing and we need someone who can help and advise the group, so that we are ahead of the curve.
Traditional methods of generating business, such as cold calling, are becoming a thing of the past. Therefore we want someone who can help us change the way this works within recruitment. Although the sector is a billion-pound industry, it’s very much still stuck in old ways of working. As a communicator, you’ll be working with all of our internal stakeholders to help them create engaging and relevant content, which has the right tone and resonates with their individual markets. In addition, you’ll be tasked with designing campaigns and day-to-day content management of blog posts, Instagram stories, email campaigns and video. We are also looking at finding industry influencers to further promote our brand. Plus, we would want you to be responsible for putting together targeted, paid, social media campaigns. Aside from your creative approach, you will also have a commercial mindset and understand the importance of measuring everything you do. Therefore, using tools such as Google analytics and Facebook insights will be fundamental
This is a hands on role and therefore we need someone who can not only put a campaign together but also execute it from start to finish, rather than using advertising or marketing agencies. We also feel that it’s important to note, this is a brand new role for the group and therefore it’s an opportunity for you to build something from the ground up.
Aside from your creativity you’ll be open to new ideas and strategies, whilst having the ability to think for yourself. You will also have an amazing way of seeing problems and instinctively know what action to take to solve them and deliver workable solutions. Time management will be one of your key skills – you will be able to get most things done in less time than it takes everyone else, as you will be focused, competent and proficient at pushing and driving a process to get the ideal outcome.
About you
You may be in a similar role right now but maybe you’re just not feeling it and you need something more in your life. Or maybe you’ve got children and need flexibility. We are totally open on hours and days and want to help you as much as we can, as family comes first.
Your character is the most important thing that we are looking at. You will always consider doing what you see as the right thing and will not compromise on the important values. You will also know when to pick your battles and channel frustrations in the right places. These frustrations are in every business and we are no different. We have a zero tolerance to drama, as life is difficult enough without unnecessary things making it more difficult. We know, as an employer, that things go wrong and we will support you where we can, as this is one of our key values. However, it is your responsibility to own this situation and deal with it in a professional manner.
What is on offer:
* Salary of up to £25,000 pro rata, depending on experience.
* Progressive career advancement
* On-going training and personal development
* An opportunity to make it your own and build your own department
* Flexible working practices
