About Beds & Bars
Beds & Bars has operated bars and hostels across Europe since 1964. Two of our brands sit at the centre of this role, and they require distinctly different voices.
St Christopher's is Europe's original branded hostel network, operating 20 hostels across the UK and Europe including London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Vienna, Bruges, Edinburgh, and Newquay. The formula has not changed since the first site opened in 1996: a bed above a bar, centrally located, with events in every hostel.
Belushi's is the bar side of the business, in London and across Europe. Live sport, music, and late licenses, with travelers and locals drinking side by side. The tone is bold and direct.
Purpose of the role
We are seeking an experienced freelance marketer to deliver the weekly social media and email output for both brands.
We maintain libraries of photography and video and add to them regularly, though the ideal asset is not always available. The role is to select and format suitable assets, build the post or email, write the copy to brand tone of voice, and submit the work for approval against the agreed content calendar.
Briefs set the objective and the direction. Execution is where we expect your skill and technique to show. This is a brand marketing role, not a content production or influencer role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The successful candidate will be self-employed and responsible for their own tax and National Insurance.
