Inspiring Scotland is seeking a passionate and proactive Communications and Impact Officer to join our Intandem team. Intandem mentoring supports children and young people experiencing the care system, whether they’re living at home with parents, in kinship care with wider family or friends, or on the edge of care.

Established in 2016, Intandem is managed by Inspiring Scotland and delivered by 12 partner charities across 20 local authorities. Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we are embarking on a five-year growth plan to ensure every young person growing up in kinship care can access a mentor, no matter where they live in Scotland.

As Intandem mentoring continues to grow, the need for strong communications, effective event planning and dedicated fund management support has never been greater. This is an exciting time to join Intandem, with the opportunity to use your communications skills while gaining experience in, and contributing to, fund management.

The Communications and Impact Officer will play a pivotal role in the Intandem team in the years ahead. The role has three core elements:

1) shaping our communications

2) coordinating events

3) supporting the day-to-day delivery of the Intandem programme

The Intandem team works collaboratively, and you will play an instrumental role as the programme grows and expands its influence. Flexibility is essential, and you will have many opportunities to shape and influence our work.
