Strong competency with Adobe Creative Suite is important, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and relevant video-editing applications.

Websites & Digital Channels

You’ll help keep our digital presence accurate, current and engaging, including:

• Updating and maintaining our WordPress websites.
• Working within Elementor to create and update pages.
• Publishing new content and landing pages.
• Maintaining imagery, written content and other website assets.
• Identifying opportunities to improve the digital customer experience.

Marketing & Advertising

This isn’t purely a creative role.

You’ll work closely with the Managing Director to support marketing and growth initiatives, including:

• Developing creative concepts for marketing and advertising campaigns.
• Supporting campaign planning, implementation and analysis.
• Coordinating newspaper, outdoor and other traditional advertising.
• Working with external PPC and SEO consultants.
• Producing campaign assets across multiple channels.
• Reviewing campaign and content performance.
• Using data and insights to continuously improve future creative.

Our existing media framework places particular emphasis on combining graphic design, digital content, multimedia production, brand management and marketing support rather than treating these as isolated functions.

Who We’re Looking For

You might currently be a Content Creator, Social Media Specialist, Digital Marketer, Graphic Designer or multidisciplinary creative.

The title matters less than what you can actually do.

We’re Looking For Someone Who

• Has demonstrated experience managing social media professionally.
• Is a voracious consumer of social media and understands how different platforms behave.
• Can create great content rather than simply brief someone else to create it.
• Has strong graphic design capabilities.
• Is confident with photography and video production.
• Can edit engaging short-form video.
• Has strong skills across Adobe Creative Suite.
• Understands branding and can work within an established visual identity.
• Can write engaging, accurate digital content.
• Understands the fundamentals of digital marketing and advertising.
• Is comfortable working with WordPress and ideally Elementor.
• Can manage multiple projects and deadlines without losing attention to detail.
• Is creative, curious and willing to experiment.
• Can look at performance data and use it to improve their work.
• Is comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Most importantly, you need good judgement.

Funeral service requires creativity to coexist with sensitivity. You’ll need to understand when we can be playful, when we need to be restrained, and how to create interesting content without compromising the dignity of the families and communities we serve.

You’ll Probably Love This Role If…

• You save content because you want to understand why it worked.
• You have opinions about bad social media.
• You can see an empty room, an ordinary moment or a conversation and immediately start thinking about how you could turn it into content.
• You enjoy switching between Photoshop, a camera, Premiere, WordPress and your phone.
• You want enough freedom to bring ideas to the table rather than simply executing somebody else’s content calendar.
• And you want your creative work to contribute to something more meaningful than selling another disposable product.

Why McCartney Family Funerals?

McCartney Family Funerals is a family-owned and operated funeral company built around Care, Compassion, Community, Support and Family.

We operate in an industry where trust matters enormously.

That creates an interesting challenge for our Media team: we need to build brands that people recognise and remember long before they need us, communicate difficult subjects in accessible ways, tell meaningful stories and create content capable of standing out in an industry that often looks and sounds the same.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence how we do that.

You’ll work closely with decision-makers, have genuine ownership over your work and see your ideas move from concept to execution.

What We’d Like to See

Along with your application, we’d love to see examples of your work.

That Could Include

• Social media accounts you’ve managed.
• Reels, TikToks or other video you’ve created.
• Photography.
• Graphic design.
• Marketing campaigns.
• Websites or landing pages.
• Podcasts.
• A portfolio or showreel.

We’re much more interested in seeing what you can create than receiving a perfectly formatted cover letter.
