Edinburgh, United Kingdom University of Edinburgh Full time

**Content Designer**

**UE06 £31,396- £ 36,024**

**Prospective Student Web Content Team, Communications and Marketing**

**Open ended,**

**Full time 35 hours per week**

**Number of posts: 1
**The Opportunity**:
The Prospective Student Web Content Team manages all central website provision for prospective students and works with colleagues in a range of academic and service departments to continually enhance students’ online experiences. This role will involve collaborating within a small team of content designers working a range of projects, and setting standards for our approach to content design which will be adopted across the institution.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- **You need to be open to learning about our users **. We don’t necessarily expect you to be experienced in human-centred design, but you need to care about whether the content you design really works. Be ready to get involved in user research and analytics to really understand student needs and show how you’ve changed online behaviours
- **You need to be committed to the discipline of content design **. Again, you don’t need to know everything but you do need to be ready to challenge and be challenged. Joining a dedicated team of content specialists will bring new opportunities and require editorial discipline. This is less about content creation and more about content curation.

**As a valued member of our team you can expect**:

- A competitive salary of **£31,396- £36,024**:

- An positive, challenging and rewarding place to work, where you’ll be given the opportunity to develop yourself within a supportive professional community.
- Comprehensive staff benefits, such as a generous holiday entitlement, a defined benefits pension scheme, staff discounts, family-friendly initiatives, and flexible work options. Check out the full list on our **staff benefits page **and use our reward calculator to discover the total value of your pay and benefits

**Championing equality, diversity and inclusion**:
The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

Prior to any employment commencing with the University you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our **right to work webpages**

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.

**Key dates to note**:
**Interviews will be held **late January or early February 2024.
