An exciting opportunity has arisen for a candidate with the right experience who is looking to use their policy and communication skills to support the development of Scotland’s higher education sector.
Having embarked on a strategic review of our priorities and activities last year, the Trust is now developing a refreshed Strategic Plan for 2026-31, with a renewed focus on enhancing our impact, reach and relevance in today’s landscape to champion and drive equality of opportunity and outcome in Scotland’s higher education system.
This post has been created to support the development and delivery of an emerging portfolio of strategic projects, and to lead on aspects of the Trust’s communications; ensuring outcomes are shared with relevant parties and building relationships and partnerships to grow awareness of the Trust and its work.
If you share our passion for ensuring equitable access to higher education and advancing thinking and debates on the future of post-school education in Scotland, then we’d love to hear from you.
