Jobs in Fountainbridge & Craiglockhart, Edinburgh

This is an exciting opportunity to shape how Waverley Care engages supporters online while playing a central role in growing our fundraising impact. You’ll lead on creating innovative, engaging, and data driven digital campaigns that inspire people to support our mission and ensure more people across Scotland can access the help they need.

Part of the Marketing & Communications Team, you’ll work closely with Fundraising colleagues to design and deliver campaigns that build awareness, generate income, and strengthen supporter relationships.

This role is ideal for someone who combines creativity with analytical thinking, a natural storyteller who can bring our cause to life online, while also using data and insights to refine and improve performance. As part of our small but ambitious team, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with new approaches, shape how we connect with audiences, and directly contribute to achieving zero new HIV transmission in Scotland by 2030.

Responsibilities include:

Collaborate with the Fundraising Team to design and deliver digital marketing strategies that drive lead generation, event sign-ups, and supporter engagement.

Produce engaging, high-quality content for websites, blogs, social media, and email campaigns that highlight Waverley Care’s impact and motivates supporters to take action.

Work closely with colleagues across fundraising and the Health Improvement Team to source powerful stories and ensure messaging is authentic, accurate, and impact-driven.

Attend fundraising challenges and events (which may take place outside normal office hours) to capture, create, and share compelling digital content in real time.

Manage and grow Waverley Care’s digital presence across multiple platforms, ensuring campaigns reach the right audiences and achieve fundraising and engagement goals.

Foster online relationships with donors, supporters, and partners, including donor acknowledgements and interactive engagement on social media.

Work with the Individual Giving Manager, Marketing & Communications Team, and external agencies to plan and execute individual giving campaigns that deliver measurable results.

Implement effective SEO strategies to increase visibility of fundraising initiatives and manage Google Grants campaigns to optimise reach.

Use analytics tools to monitor website and campaign performance, track user behaviour, and provide actionable insights to improve digital fundraising outcomes.

Explore and test new digital platforms, tools, and approaches to maximise supporter reach and fundraising opportunities.

Ensure all digital activity complies with fundraising regulations, GDPR, and digital marketing best practices. Ensure all digital content is consistent with Waverley Care’s brand, tone of voice, and values - helping to challenge stigma, promote inclusivity, and share positive stories.

About you

You’re a confident communicator and creative thinker with a passion for digital engagement and storytelling that motivates people to take action. Organised and detail-oriented, you thrive in a busy environment and enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues across marketing & communications, fundraising and service delivery.

You’ll bring hands-on experience in setting up, managing, and reviewing digital campaigns, with skills spanning website CMS (ideally WordPress), email marketing/CRM platforms, social media management, and SEO/analytics. You’re comfortable using data to inform decisions and are always looking for opportunities to test, learn, and optimise performance. Above all, you’re proactive, adaptable, and motivated by impact.

You can balance competing deadlines without losing sight of the bigger picture: using digital marketing to grow Waverley Care’s fundraising and help ensure that anyone affected by HIV or hepatitis C can access the support they need.

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

• Empathy (listen to and understand an individual’s needs and circumstances)
• Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
• Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
• Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives. We support people through a range of models including:

• Personal development and employability programmes
• Self-help coaching
• Supported accommodation
• Care at home
• Housing support
• Befriending
• Social cafes

The Service

The Link Academy team works primarily with people with complex backgrounds. The experiences of these young people often result in low self-esteem and confidence, poor mental health and a pattern of destructive behaviours. Because of this, these young people find it difficult to manage key transitions such as moving into work or training, into a tenancy or leaving care. The service works hard and creatively to maintain the early engagement of participants. By offering mental health and wellbeing programmes, independent living skills and a wide range of qualifications to support their progression, we give young people the tools to better manage their own mental health. Doing so helps them break negative and destructive cycles of behaviour and thinking, with the aim of putting them on the path to having the best life possible. Staff are trained in using a trauma-informed approach to support young people to build confidence, develop resilience and realise their goals for the future.

The Job

‘The Right Track (Navigating Positive Futures)’ is a preventive programme which focuses on supporting young people at risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system, through the provision of one-to-one and group-based support. The Development Worker will have a background in criminal justice work and will support young people facing issues including youth crime, antisocial behaviour, family breakdown and school-related difficulties, to achieve their goals and aspirations, providing them with practical tools and techniques to overcome the challenges they are facing.

The Development Worker will also provide support to parents and caregivers, as well as leading a team of peer education volunteers (16-24) who will use their own lived experiences of the criminal justice system to positively influence young people supported through the programme.

About You

You will be an experienced and motivated professional, educated to SCQF Level 7 (HNC or equivalent), with a strong background in youth work. With at least three years’ experience in a professional youth work setting, you will have a proven track record of developing and delivering engaging programmes that support young people to achieve positive outcomes.

You will hold (or be willing to work towards) an SCQF Assessor and Verifier qualification (LD9–LD11) and have experience of creating and delivering effective training to both young people and adults. You will be confident in developing high-quality training materials and digital resources, and skilled in evaluating programmes using a range of tools to evidence impact and outcomes.

You will have a sound understanding of the current Scottish policy landscape and the challenges facing young people and families. You’ll be able to apply this knowledge in your work, ensuring that programmes and support remain relevant, inclusive, and responsive to need. A commitment to mental health awareness and the use of self-help resources will be central to your approach.

You’ll bring excellent communication skills, with the ability to present information clearly in writing and in person, and to build strong relationships with young people, colleagues, and partner agencies. Your approach will be trauma-informed, enabling you to create safe and supportive environments that help young people thrive.

Highly organised and adaptable, you’ll have excellent planning skills, a “can-do” attitude, and the flexibility to work across different areas when required. Proficiency in ICT and confidence in using digital tools are essential, as is a full driving licence and access to a car. Evening and weekend work may occasionally be required to meet the needs of the service.
