Marketing Assistant

 

Description:

Family Carers Ireland (FCI) is the national charity supporting over 500,000 family carers across the country who dedicate their lives to caring for loved ones such as children or adults with physical or intellectual disabilities, frail older people, those with palliative care needs or those living with chronic illnesses or addiction. We provide a range of supports and services for family carers nationally from our local support centres. We initially proposed the concept of a Carers Guarantee to both the government and the HSE in 2018. The principle was to tackle the postcode lottery by providing a core offering of supports and services to family carers across Ireland, regardless of where they live. The 2020 Programme for Government committed to delivering this guarantee and we recently received confirmation that we will receive a (recurring) increase in our annual funding to enable us to implement an evidence-based framework of support for family carers throughout the country.
Family Carers Ireland is currently recruiting a Marketing Assistant (Programmes & Promotions). This role will report to our Marketing Manager.
The Marketing Assistant (Programmes and Promotions) will provide administrative, communications and marketing support to the delivery of the Communications & Policy department’s projects and campaigns.
