Marketing Assistant – Placement Year
Adderstone Management Limited

  • Competitive salary
  • Full-time, fixed-term (12-month university placement)
  • Office-based in Newcastle upon Tyne

Who are Adderstone Group?
Adderstone Group is a privately owned property investment, development and regeneration business headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne. For over 25 years, we have been committed to creating, delivering and managing exceptional places that improve and regenerate areas across the UK.

Adderstone Management Limited (AML) provides professional and central support services to the wider Group, including marketing, communications, legal, finance and HR. Our marketing function plays an important role in shaping how we present our projects, people and brand, both internally and externally.

We’re based in our recently refurbished head office at The Fleming, a short distance from Newcastle city centre and a short walk from Jesmond Metro.

Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated undergraduate seeking a placement year as part of their degree in marketing, business, communications or a related discipline.

You’ll be creative and keen to get stuck in. This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same, so you should be organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple tasks.

More than anything, we’re looking for someone who is eager to learn and contribute. You should be confident communicating with colleagues across different parts of the business and interested in gaining practical, real-world marketing experience within a fast-moving property and construction environment.

Why choose Adderstone?
This is not a placement where you’ll be sitting on the sidelines. You’ll gain genuine responsibility and insight into how marketing supports a diverse Group of companies.

You’ll work closely with experienced colleagues across the business and have the opportunity to contribute to live projects, developments and campaigns. From digital content to brand development, you’ll see the direct impact of your work.

We take our work seriously, but not ourselves– culture matters to us, and we aim to create an environment where people feel trusted, valued and involved.

The role- what you’ll be doing…
Your responsibilities are likely to include:

  • Assisting with the creation of marketing materials, including brochures, presentations and digital content
  • Supporting social media and website updates across the Group
  • Drafting copy for news articles, case studies and internal communications
  • Liaising with external agencies, designers and suppliers
  • Supporting brand consistency across the Group’s businesses
  • Assisting with general marketing administration and project coordination

Please send us your CV and covering letter
