This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join the Charity Impact Team at Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.

Due to an internal promotion, we have a vacancy for a Gamer in Residence, whose job is to bring the magic of gaming to children at Scotland’s biggest children’s hospital.

This role also involves supporting our year-round calendar of visits, activities and entertainment for our young patients and their families.

Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity is recognising its 25th anniversary this year, and has invested more than £53 million in projects and services to support our children’s hospital in that time.

Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.

Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.

Our Communications Team sits at the heart of this work, helping to tell the story of what we do and inspire people to get involved. As part of the Core Team, they lead the development and delivery of marketing and communications across all Greener Kirkcaldy projects, creating engaging content for a variety of platforms and audiences.

The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative person to support this small team in planning and delivering Greener Kirkcaldy’s marketing, communications, campaigns and events programme – helping more people hear about, participate in and benefit from our work.

You’ll create content for social media, our website and newsletters, help organise, promote and deliver community events, support marketing campaigns and work with colleagues across the organisation to share the impact of our work.

This role would suit someone at the start of their communications career, including recent graduates or people looking to build on some communications experience. Whether your experience comes from university, volunteering, work or personal projects, we’ll provide training, mentoring and support to help you build your skills and confidence.

If you’re creative, organised, enjoy working with people and want your work to make a real difference in your local community, we’d love to hear from you.
