Question 1

Where can I find marketing jobs in the public sector?

Accepted Answer

Specialist public sector job boards are the best place to start. Jobs Go Public lists marketing roles from councils, charities, housing associations, and government departments across the UK — all from verified employers, with no recruitment agency adverts. You'll find everything from marketing assistant positions to senior marketing manager roles. London typically has the highest concentration of vacancies, but opportunities are available nationwide including Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, and Edinburgh. Many roles offer hybrid working, so your location needn't limit your search. Browse our current marketing vacancies to see what's available today.

Question 2

Is digital marketing a remote job?

Accepted Answer

In the public sector, most digital marketing roles offer hybrid working rather than fully remote arrangements. On our job board, over half of recent marketing vacancies mention hybrid working patterns, typically combining 2–3 days in the office with home working. A smaller number advertise as fully remote or field-based. Central government departments and larger councils tend to offer the most flexible arrangements. Working patterns vary by employer, so it's worth checking individual listings for details. Browse our marketing jobs and use the filters to find roles that match your preferred working style.
