Are you a proactive, enthusiastic person interested in working with us to deliver on our vision for social care and support in Scotland? We’re looking for someone who combines an interest in creative communications with strong administration skills to join us as our new Communications & Member Engagement Officer.
You’ll work in our Communications & Engagement team on our engagement with members, which includes overseeing our CRM. You’ll support us in developing content for our website, social media channels and publications. You’ll also field requests from media and parliamentarians, and work to ensure the smooth running of our internal and external events. Alongside membership and communications support, you’ll bring your skills to covering for our Administration Team when needed.
This could be an ideal role for someone interested in taking their first step into a communications-based position, with the opportunity for creative input and further development of skills and experience. Or perhaps you want to bring your existing skills to the social care sector.
The right candidate will join a talented staff team dedicated to amplifying the voices of our members and ensuring that not-for-profit social care providers have the right landscape to deliver the best possible support for people and communities in Scotland.
You’ll be committed to upholding and demonstrating the values of CCPS in all the work you do. We’ll be committed to developing you and your career.
About us
The Criminal Justice Voluntary Sector Forum (CJVSF) is a collaboration of voluntary sector organisations working in criminal justice in Scotland. As a national intermediary organisation, CJVSF supports the engagement of third sector justice organisations in national policy discussions and practice developments.
CCPS is the voice of not-for-profit social care and support providers in Scotland. We are a membership organisation and our staff work collaboratively with not-for-profit providers who deliver care and support across all age ranges.
About the role
Are you a committed and enthusiastic person interested in working with us to deliver on our vision for the justice and social care and support sectors in Scotland? We’re looking for a Policy Officer to support delivery of priority policy work across both CJVSF and CCPS.
Drawing on professional policy experience, you’ll be ready to respond to national policy proposals, keep members of both organisations informed of developments, take forward new ideas and support our wider work to influence positive reform for people in the justice and social care and support sectors. Effective representation of CJVSF and CCPS members’ views, and engagement with wider staff and key external stakeholders, will be a central part of the job.
The ideal candidate will have strong social policy skills and experience, a commitment to collaboration, and a creative focus on finding solutions in a complex landscape. You do not need to be a subject specialist, but knowledge of policy areas relevant to justice and / or social care and support in Scotland will be an advantage. You will have a curious mind and a willingness to learn.
The right candidate will join a talented staff team dedicated to amplifying the voices of CJVSF and CCPS members and influencing positive change on their behalf. You’ll be committed to upholding and demonstrating the values of CCPS in all the work you do. We’ll be committed to developing you and your career.
