• A strong portfolio of live sports content, including matchday coverage and community storytelling.
• Real responsibility for planning, capturing, editing and publishing social media content.
• The opportunity to work alongside a national Marketing and Communications team.

What to expect

• It’s essential that you’ll be able to work at weekends, the hours will fit around university or college studies. This is particularly essential during competition weekends.
• There will be some weekday support required for planning, editing and posting.
• This is a paid, part‑time opportunity running throughout the 2026/27 season.
• You’ll be paid for the hours you work.
• You’ll receive travel expenses for approved fixtures and events across Scotland.
• The role combines selected in‑person match‑day attendance with remote planning, editing and publishing.
