Role
Unitemps are acting as an Employment Business, supplying temporary workers, in relation to this vacancy.
We are a Nottingham-focused events and promotions platform that helps people easily discover what’s happening nearby — from student events and workshops to pubs, live music, markets, and community activities.

This role is flexible and skills-based: students can choose the type of marketing they are most confident in, whether that’s in-person outreach, phone calls, or social media engagement, and you would be able to help to lead the direction of marketing ideas.
