This is a new permanent role within Scran Academy with the core purpose of leading the coordinated delivery of our external comms and engagement.

The post holder will act as the lead storyteller of the organisation, working with our young people and staff to clearly communicate our impact in ways that maximise engagement. This role will amplify the voices of our young people, working to provide ways to support them to engage in content creation and direct marketing. The role will link directly into our social enterprises by supporting the development of our online store.

Key to this role will be stakeholder engagement, including supporting the chief executive in the creation of funding bids and reports, and engaging with corporate sponsors and charitable partners to maximise mutual advantage. The role will also strategically develop our approach to volunteer engagement, and be responsible for a thriving volunteer base that enhances our initiatives and impact.

All in all, the Communications and Engagement Officer will be responsible for delivering how Scran Academy is presented to the world, and coordinating how we can be best supported by stakeholders.

Really this is a creative and exciting role that supports the entire breadth of our delivery, so we are looking for an exceptional candidate who chimes with our values. A true comms professional who is dynamic, collaborative, and has a passion for getting the best from young people. Supporting staff and young people to create content and engage with our communications will be a part of the fabric of the job, so a non-judgemental, strengths-based attitude is essential.

We are currently seeking an experienced Community Fundraiser to ensure all supporters in our community have an excellent experience of raising money for Edinburgh Women’s Aid (EWA), encouraging repeat support and motivating individuals to raise as much money as possible, leading to a legacy gift. The post holder will contribute to EWA’s fundraising targets by developing existing relationships and proactively researching, identifying and securing new community fundraising opportunities across Edinburgh. The Community Fundraiser will also steward supporters and groups within our community to deliver their own fundraising activities and deliver fundraising initiatives to engage with our local community including our annual Kiltwalk and our Christmas appeal.

This role will raise Edinburgh Women’s Aid profile within the community, initiating and building mutually beneficial and sustainable relationships to ensure long-term support.
