Joanne Hodge

I started my career in recruitment in 2007, beginning in a team support role within charity recruitment before moving into marketing. I further developed my expertise by earning a diploma in Direct and Digital Marketing from the IDM, combining hands-on recruitment experience with strategic marketing.

I enjoy the variety my role offers, from launching targeted marketing campaigns, planning events to supporting sales activity, shaping strategy, and analysing performance data. This blend allows me to take a commercially focused, insight-led approach to marketing.

Effective marketing starts with authenticity; that’s why working with a values-led organisation like Parker Smith Inclusion was so important. Their genuine passion for inclusive education and strong ethical approach closely align with my own.

WHAT I ENJOY

Favourite TV show -  This is Us

Favourite hot beverage - Tea, all day, everyday!

Sweet or savoury - Sweet

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, travelling, walking my dog, and keeping up with life as a parent to three children, so I’m no stranger to juggling multiple priorities!
