Live Borders is a charitable trust at the heart of the Scottish Borders, delivering sport and leisure, libraries, museums, arts and events that make a real difference to people's lives. Every penny we generate is reinvested into our services and communities. We're on an exciting journey right now - new leadership, a new strategy about to launch, and a genuine ambition to grow our reach and impact across one of Scotland's most distinctive regions.

We're looking for a Digital Marketing Officer to take the lead on digital marketing across the organisation. This is a broad, hands-on role with real scope to make your mark.

You'll be the go-to person for everything digital - owning the website and app, leading on social media, managing paid advertising across Google and Meta, and acting as the team's lead for our CRM and e-communications. You'll also be our AI champion, helping the team identify and adopt tools that improve how we work.

The breadth of what Live Borders does means your work will span an unusually wide range of audiences, services and channels - from fitness campaigns to cultural events and everything in between. No two weeks look the same!

This post sits within our newly formed Engagement team, bringing together marketing and communications, fundraising, community engagement, insight and customer excellence. It's a new way of working for us, and we want people who'll help shape what good looks like.

What we're looking for

You'll have solid experience in a marketing role with a strong digital focus - social media, paid advertising, CRM, website management and analytics. You'll be confident using data to make decisions and comfortable advising colleagues on digital. Familiarity with AI tools and an understanding of brand management and audience segmentation would be a real plus.

You'll also line manage our Marketing Co-ordinator, so some experience of supporting or supervising others is helpful, though not essential.

We know it's not always possible to tick every box. If you have the core skills and experience and you're excited by what you've read, we'd encourage you to apply.

What we offer

• A strong flexible working structure (a typical week for our team has 3 days in the office, 2 working from home, with flexible start and finish times)
• 30 days annual leave plus 4 public holidays
• Free Live Borders gym and pool membership
• Free entry to our attractions

We are looking for a motivated and collaborative Chair to proactively lead and support our organisation, providing strategic direction and insight to ensure we achieve our vision.

Wellbeing Scotland has been dedicated to supporting people impacted by child abuse since 1994. We support children, young people, adults and families, with an established specialism in access to records for people who experienced abuse while in care. We are a long-standing delivery partner of the Scottish Redress Support scheme.

We recently said goodbye to some long-standing Board members and are now looking for a new Chair and more trustees to bring fresh perspectives and energy. This is an opportunity to broaden our skillset and ensure the organisation is well supported for its next chapter.

The Chair’s role will be crucial throughout our next phase: providing steady leadership, supporting the Board through change, and ensuring the ongoing resilience of the organisation.

Key responsibilities of the Chair:

• Provide effective leadership and strategic direction
• Chair Board meetings and AGM
• Act as a bridge between the Board and the senior leadership team
• Ensure the charity operates in line with governing documents, charity law and best practice
• Represent Wellbeing Scotland externally with funders, partners and supporters

This is a voluntary role requiring attendance at 6 Board meetings per year plus additional support in line with the responsibilities of the role.

Who are we looking for?

Previous experience as a Chair is desirable but not essential. Most important is your commitment to our work and to using your experience to help us achieve our vision. We actively welcome expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds, professions and life experiences.
