We're hiring a copywriter

Writing a job description for a copywriter is like writing in a colleague’s birthday card and, if you are a copywriter, you will know exactly what I mean by that.

So, to make things easier (for me) why not come and work at Serotonin (oh yeah, we are hiring a copywriter btw) and then you can do the words, so I don’t have to.

All you need to know is:

• We’re looking for someone with agency experience. That's because we are fast-paced blah blah highly creative etc etc but also because, if you’ve worked at an agency before, you’ll understand what it takes to juggle multiple brand voices over the space of an hour without losing your mind. And that is a very specific kind of skill.

• We need someone who wants to work within a multi-disciplinary creative team, where no two days are the same (oh god these cliches please come save me). This is a place where words are pretty much pivotal to every campaign output, from PPC ads to social media content to brand strategy. TL;DR this role has a lot going on.

• We want a copywriter who is looking to develop and progress in their career, someone who reflects our values (Tenacity, Transparency, and Teamwork) and will be a fun person to have around. Basically, not a dick. 

• The salary range for this role £28,500 - £35,000, depending on your experience and what you can bring to the table

‍

Here’s a bit more detail:

• We’re based in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. It’s a great office with good people who like working collaboratively, so we come into the office Monday to Friday 9am-5.30pm. If that’s not for you, that’s cool, but we probably aren’t right for each other :)

• Day to day the role can include any and all of:‍

Writing social media content and ads

Planning and writing blogs and content strategies

Developing or positioning a brand tone of voice

Working alongside the head of creative and social media manager to come up with banging creative campaign ideas

Editing content

Writing websites and emails for a whole range of brands

Proofreading the account management team’s emails so they don’t sound too salty

Writing job descriptions (rather you than me 🥳)

‍

And some perks of the job:

‍

- 28 days holiday per annum (not incl. Bank Holidays)

- Health insurance inc. Mental Health & Counselling support

- Free daily breakfast provided in the office 

- Free snack and drinks bar within the office 

- At least 6 quarterly social events as part of the Serotonin social calendar, recently including: yoga, self-defence classes, Peak District hike, Barry’s Bootcamp, comedy night, Junkyard Golf, weekly lunchtime run club (not obligatory, don't worry)

- Team lunches/ dinners

- Pet friendly office (hope you like dogs 🐶 )

- Access and reduced opticians & dental fees (via Health shield)

- Opportunity for work to be submitted for awards. Serotonin was shortlisted for seven awards in 2022, winning four and highly commended for two
