Make holiday dreams come true.

Are you ready to turn your copywriting talent into unforgettable travel experiences? As the UK’s largest escorted coach tour operator, at Leger Shearings Group, we turn inspiration into itineraries and browsers into travellers, across self-drive breaks, UK and European holidays, specialist Battlefield Tours and more, delivered by our family of trusted brands.

Since the acquisition of Shearings (July 2020), we’ve expanded our reach and accelerated our shift from traditional channels into scaled digital performance. With strong momentum and ambitious growth plans, this is an exciting time to join and make a visible impact.

About the Role

Due to our success and growth, we’re now looking for a creative, results-driven SEO copywriter to join our dynamic Head Office marketing team in Rotherham. You’ll be at the heart of our storytelling, crafting compelling narratives across a diverse portfolio of brands—from escorted coach holidays to specialist tours focused on battlefields, motorsports, hobbies and crafts. Your words will inspire, inform and convert—whether it’s a headline that stops the scroll or a product description that seals the deal.

Office-based collaboration

This is a full office role: collaboration in person is a core part of how we work and how we raise creative standards and speed. Being physically present allows for spontaneous idea-sharing, faster feedback loops, and a vibrant team culture that fuels our marketing success. You’ll be part of a close-knit team that values face-to-face interaction, creative energy, and the ability to bounce ideas around in real time. You’ll be joining an established team of three talented copywriters, and we’re looking for someone who can start immediately and hit the ground running.

We believe that working together in person enhances productivity, strengthens relationships, and drives innovation—especially in a fast-paced creative environment. If you’re someone who enjoys being immersed in a buzzing marketing team and contributing to a shared vision, this is the place for you.
