Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Carr Gomm Full time

We are seeking a skilled Communications and Marketing Specialist to join our Business Development Team on a maternity cover basis. The successful candidate will be responsible for communicating our message and marketing our organisation's activity and fundraising campaigns to help tackle social isolation and loneliness in Scotland.

The role will involve being an ambassador for communicating and articulating the life-changing impact of Carr Gomm's work, and will require the ability to refine and develop our messaging both internally and externally. The successful candidate will have excellent storytelling and creative writing skills, and will be able to use a blend of traditional and social media platforms to raise our profile and take our message and values to new younger audiences across Scotland.

The ideal candidate will be aware of the gaps in society within which the crippling issues of loneliness and isolation remain, and will be driven to increase awareness, drive on our fundraising campaigns and inspire greater involvement and awareness to help increase our income growth.

This is a dynamic role that requires the ability to innovate, improve, develop and stretch targets in the pursuit of a more equitable society in which people can lead full and positive lives as active citizens.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Effectively communicating strategic messages to target audiences leading to an increase in well-informed job applicants, donors, colleagues and customers.
  • Supporting with tender and grant submissions
  • Developing and managing our communications and marketing campaigns in-line with our Strategic Plan, including overseeing Carr Gomm's social media strategy, website and marketing materials to proactively promote our services.
  • Being aware of, and positioning us to influence national social care policies and initiatives
  • Effectively working with colleagues from throughout the organisation to inform internal and external communications.

We are seeking a proactive learner, one with a flair for engaging with, and relating to people, who is enthused by our work and shares our values. The successful candidate will be passionate about developing the opportunities for people we support to represent their own views, and the organisation, across a range of settings.

The ideal candidate will be solution-focused, patient and positive, working consistently to achieve and be curious. They will have excellent writing skills and confidence to pull together findings from their work and make recommendations about the next steps and future development.
