Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You’ll help shape our approach to web and digital, bringing fresh ideas and identifying opportunities to make our digital experience smarter, simpler and more effective.
  • This is much more than keeping web pages up to date. You’ll be responsible for making sure our website is accurate, accessible, engaging and effective – helping prospective students find the right course, take their next step and choose North Devon College.
  • You’ll manage and develop website content, user journeys, SEO and digital performance, using GA4 and other tools to understand what’s working, what isn’t and where we can make things better.
  • One day you might be optimising a key course journey; the next, building a campaign landing page, improving SEO, analysing performance or briefing our external web developers.
  • We’re looking for someone who combines strong digital know-how with curiosity and initiative.
  • You’ll be confident working with a CMS, understand SEO, accessibility and UX, and be comfortable turning analytics and user behaviour into practical improvements.
  • You’ll also keep an eye on what’s next – from AI and emerging technology to changing digital behaviours – and spot opportunities that could make our activity smarter and more effective.
  • You’ll take ownership.
  • You’ll manage competing priorities, work confidently with colleagues and suppliers, challenge where something could work better and make sound day-to-day decisions based on our recruitment, marketing and communications objectives.
