FTE: 1

Term: Open-ended
This is an exciting opportunity for someone seeking to develop their current skills in communications and engagement to join the multidisciplinary Communications and Engagement team working at the heart of CELCIS the Centre for Excellence for Children’s Care and Protection.
Our team works together to use communication and engagement techniques to tell the story of what support, services, work, and investment is needed for children and young people in need of care and protection, their families, carers, and for the workforces who support them, and what it takes to change practice.
Supporting the team, you’ll work across our channels and outputs and maintain processes to help us share information, learning and knowledge that are all contributing to what we understand can improve the lives of children and young people.
As the first point of contact for our communications enquiries from colleagues and external stakeholders, you’ll require enthusiasm, energy, and an ability to grow and maintain positive working relationships within and out with CELCIS.
This role would suit someone with an interest and experience in understanding the policy landscape in Scotland, and developments concerning the needs and rights of children, and the role provides the opportunity to further build this knowledge.
You’ll be enthusiastic, creative, and a highly organised and motivated member of our team with the ability to work across a number of tasks and projects at any one time. Attention to detail is essential in this role and the postholder will need to have the ability to understand and use design packages, and technological platforms and tools such as website Content Management Systems (CMS) systems to collate, analyse and present information and to create some content.
As with all posts in the team, the post is initially funded to March 2026, with indicative funding for a further two years.
