As the UK's only large care home provider to achieve B Corp certification, we continue to lead the sector in responsible, values-driven care. In 2024 and again in 2025, we were honoured to be named Health Investor's Residential Elderly Large Care Provider of the Year, a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation.

The Challenge & The Opportunity: Reporting directly to the Head of Marketing, you will own the overarching visual identity across our entire group: Kingsley Healthcare (40+ residential homes), Kingsley Homecare, and Kingsley Philanthropy. Total Brand Ownership: You won't wait for instructions. You will proactively audit our output, architect a top-tier corporate document strategy, and elevate our brand identity to the next level. Premium Visual Storytelling: You will act as the creative powerhouse for our wider marketing team. You will produce, shoot, and edit high-end promotional video, design high-converting advertising campaigns, and supply our Social Media team with highly optimised assets. Commercial Print & Production: You will take total ownership of our physical marketing collateral. You will ruthlessly negotiate with external print suppliers and media buyers to drive maximum ROI and efficiency across the group. Global Leadership: You will manage, mentor, and optimise the workflow of our fully offshore design production team (comprising a Senior Graphic Designer and a Graphic Designer based entirely in our Sri Lankan operational hub). One of your first strategic tasks will be helping to recruit and onboard a new designer to complete your offshore engine! Reports to: Head of Marketing Key duties and responsibilities Who You Are: The In-House Transitioner: You have the rigorous multi-account discipline of an agency professional, but you are ready to dedicate your talents to a single, rapidly growing, purpose-driven business. A Remote Leader: You possess the communication skills and workflow mastery required to lead a transnational, offshore execution team. You know how to write an airtight design brief. The Complete Creative: You have expert-level mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) alongside extensive video editing and motion graphics capability (Premiere Pro, After Effects). A Commercial Leader: You understand that beautiful design is useless if it doesn't drive commercial goals (occupancy, recruitment, brand equity) or save the business money (supplier negotiation). An Empathetic Communicator: You possess the emotional intelligence to visually market highly sensitive adult social care and dementia services with profound dignity and regulatory (CQC) compliance. What will you gain? The Kingsley Package: £36,500.00 Base Salary 10% Performance-Related Pay (PRP) Bonus tied directly to your commercial and delivery results. Hybrid Working: 3 days working remotely with total autonomy; 2 days a week collaborating in our vibrant Lowestoft Head Office. We are a proud Real Living Wage employer, hold a sector-leading 4.7/5 rating on Glassdoor, and were officially ranked Number 1 in the UK for work wellbeing in Indeed's Better Work Awards.

Spotting growth opportunities within accounts and going after them range extensions, new lines, activations, gifting opportunities, seasonal pushes. Keeping an ear to the ground for new business through your accounts, competitor activity and market trends. Building accurate forecasts, managing pricing and margin carefully, and making sure operations have the foresight to plan production. Working cross-functionally with marketing, NPD and operations to build compelling customer-facing presentations and joint plans. Representing the brand at trade shows and customer events to the highest standard. What you ll bring to the role Proven account management experience within a premium branded environment food, drink, lifestyle or other quality-led consumer goods would be great. A genuinely hungry, growth-oriented mindset you don t just maintain accounts, you grow them. Strong commercial acumen comfortable with margin, P&L, forecasting and pricing decisions. Confident, personable and credible at every level, from buyer to category director. Sharp on detail forecasts that hold up, presentations that land, follow-through that builds trust. A degree (or equivalent) in Business, Marketing or a related field is ideal, plus excellent IT and CRM skills. Experience selling into luxury retail, premium department stores, high-end hospitality (hotels, fine dining, spas), farm shops, fine food halls or specialist independents. Experience of co-branded products, NPD launches or activation campaigns. Sage 200 or Microsoft Business Central. My client has built solid foundations and are now investing in the people who will help them push further. You ll have real autonomy, a portfolio you can genuinely shape, and the chance to work for a values-led business where sustainability and quality aren t buzzwords they re built into how the company operates every day. Based at their Norwich site, full-time, with the travel you d expect of a national account-management role. This role is being handled exclusively by Select Recruitment Specialists.

We don't just run ads. We answer the question every ambitious e-commerce founder is asking: how do you scale from 7 figures to 8? We work with D2C brands at the point where things get serious. Scrappy start-ups that have found product-market fit and need a partner who can turn that into heavy, sustained scale. Our clients don't come to us for maintenance. They come to us to grow.
