Copywriter
We are looking for an experienced part-time Copywriter to create digital marketing copy and content that serves clients.
What the job involves
As our copywriter you will be working closely with our founder, Lucy Parsons, to create all the marketing and customer facing copy that the business needs.
The job will involve writing digital marketing copy in Lucy’s voice to appeal to our audience of either parents of teenagers or teenagers themselves. Types of copy we regularly create:

- Social media captions
- Blog posts to accompany YouTube videos and podcast episodes
- Email updates to members of The Extraordinaries Club
- Web pages inside The Extraordinaries Club
- Update web pages on an ongoing basis
The work will be flexible and you will work from your own home, although we would prefer a candidate local to Lucy in Northamptonshire / Leicestershire /Warwickshire so that we can have occasional face-to-face get-togethers but this isn’t essential. You will need access to excellent WiFi to perform your work efficiently and effectively.
In the early stages of working with us you will work closely with Lucy to understand how our marketing works and to learn our house written style. Over time, you will develop to work more independently on the business’ copy freeing up Lucy to work on other aspects of the business.
Training in both copywriting and other business systems will be available where there is a proven business case that it will further the business’ goals.

Salary will be £15,000-£17,000 per annum, depending on your level of experience as a copywriter.
