Communications Officer
Children in Scotland is currently seeking an experienced Communications Officer to join our collaborative and driven Communications & Marketing Team. The Communications Officer will play an important role in raising awareness of both the organisation and the key issues facing the sector – through engaging content, social media and brand activity. We are looking for a great team player who enjoys the process of collaboration to achieve creative and dynamic communications. They will take a highly-organised and proactive approach to their responsibilities, and have a close eye for detail. We would love to hear from candidates with a background in content marketing, social media, or multimedia, as well as a good understanding of digital communications.
The successful candidate will be ready to hit the ground running, but will be offered an excellent induction and support through the first few months. Our commitment to staff wellbeing is reflected in our flexible and hybrid working policies, our organisational wellbeing working group, regular line manager one‑to‑ones, and quarterly in‑person all‑staff away days. They will join a brilliant group of supportive staff who are passionate about making a difference to children’s lives and work hard to achieve this.
This is a hybrid role with some flexibility around working‑from‑home days. Members of the communications team are generally encouraged to spend a minimum of one day per week working at the Children in Scotland office in Edinburgh, and attend mandatory quarterly in‑person all‑staff days and departmental meetings.
Diversity Statement
Children in Scotland values the contribution of all our staff, whatever their background. Our recruitment decisions are based on fair, open processes, with appointment on merit. We welcome applications from everyone.
