About Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so no one in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help can't get there in time. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters. As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to ensure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at whatever time of day.
We are seeking a creative, proactive and highly organised Digital Communications Officer to join our Marketing and Communications team on a 12-month maternity cover contract.
Working closely with the Marketing Communications Manager, Marketing Communications Officer and colleagues across the charity, the successful candidate will play a key role in creating compelling digital content that showcases the impact of SCAA's life-saving service. With a strong focus on video production, the role will be responsible for developing engaging content across our digital channels, helping to raise awareness, grow audience engagement and support fundraising activities. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced digital communicator who enjoys storytelling. You will work directly with patients, supporters, fundraisers, operational crew and charity colleagues to capture and share powerful stories that bring our mission to life.
This role is based at Perth Airport, Scone, with regular travel throughout Scotland to attend events, visit operational locations and capture content opportunities. SCAA supports flexible and hybrid working arrangements - our current approach typically includes two office days per week. The usual hours of work will be Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.
