Marketing Coordinator

Shape stories. Build reputation. Bring our Adult College and University Centre offer to life.

Marketing is often the first way people understand who we are.

A campaign helps someone see that college is still for them. A student story makes Higher Education feel possible. A strong social post builds confidence before an open event. A clear web page helps someone take the next step.

As our Marketing Coordinator, you’ll help shape that first impression.

You’ll support marketing activity across the college, with a particular focus on our Adult College and University Centre offer. You’ll create content, support paid and organic campaigns, develop stories and help make sure our digital presence is clear, engaging and true to Wigan & Leigh College

What you’ll do

  • Create engaging content for social media, web, PR, publications and internal communications.
  • Support marketing campaigns for Adult College and University Centre provision.
  • Plan and deliver paid and organic social media activity.
  • Take photographs and create video content for digital channels.
  • Work with curriculum teams to find stories, case studies and campaign opportunities.
  • Keep website and online content accurate, current and audience-focused.
  • Monitor digital, social and press activity and report on reach and impact.
  • Support live content at open evenings, student events, welcome days and awards.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
