Closing date:  Tuesday 6th January 2026 (we reserve the right to close of early, depending on applications)

Do you believe creative storytelling can change how people see the world?
At Sky Blues in the Community, the official charity of Coventry City Football Club, we use the power of football to connect communities, tackle inequality, support wellbeing, and create opportunities across Coventry and Warwickshire. Every day our work changes lives. Your creativity could help us reach even more people.

We are recruiting a Marketing & Communications Coordinator to join us for maternity cover. If you are passionate about social media, digital campaigns, visual storytelling and brand identity, this is an opportunity to take the lead in shaping how thousands of people understand and engage with our charity.

This is an opportunity to take a leading role in shaping how thousands of people see, hear, and experience our charity. If you have a passion for social media, content creation, design, and digital storytelling, you will thrive here.

Why this role matters
Our programmes support children, families, older adults, people with disabilities, young people at risk and whole communities. But impact only becomes visible when it is communicated clearly and powerfully. Your work will help us turn real community change into stories that resonate across Coventry and Warwickshire.

Social media is one of the most powerful tools nowadays and we are looking for someone who truly understands that power. Someone who knows how digital platforms can shift perceptions, build trust, grow audiences and spark action. In this role, your creativity and strategic thinking will directly shape how we execute our organisational strategy and deepen public awareness of Sky Blues in the Community across Coventry and Warwickshire.

What makes this opportunity unique

This is a role rooted in energy and real-world impact. Your base is the Coventry Building Society Arena – a place where football, community stories and big ideas collide. The work you create will travel far, reaching families, partners, supporters and people who rely on our programmes every day.

What you will do
Your work will shape how the public sees and connects with our charity. The role focuses on four main areas:

Social Media & Digital Presence
Taking the lead on our social platforms, creating content that sparks engagement, grows our reach and tells powerful stories about our work.

Creative Content Production
Designing eye-catching graphics, capturing photography and video, and producing short films or case studies that bring our programmes to life.

Branding & Communications
Helping us present a strong, consistent public identity, from website updates and writing matchday programme features to branded visuals that showcase who we are.

Campaigns, Community and Club Connections
Supporting campaign roll-outs, coordinating community-facing activity with CCFC colleagues and helping to spotlight the work happening across Coventry and Warwickshire.

We’re looking for someone who is genuinely passionate about the impact that well-executed social media and marketing can have on an organisation’s visibility, reputation and reach. A creative thinker with a good visual eye and experience using design tools to bring ideas to life.

Because we operate under the Coventry City Football Club badge, every message we share and every visual we produce reflects on both the charity and the Club. This brings a meaningful dual responsibility to ensure our work supports, protects and enhances the reputation of CCFC in everything we do. Therefore, knowledge of Coventry, Coventry City FC, Sky Blues in the Community and the role of football clubs and their charities in local communities is advantageous.

Why you will enjoy working here
• Flexible working days and hours.
• A role where your creativity directly supports our charitable mission.
• Experience that will stand out in any marketing, PR, digital or sport-sector career path.
