PURPOSE OF POST

The Young People’s Recovery College was formed in October 2016. From its inception, the Young People’s Recovery team have successfully developed and delivered self-management, awareness and information sessions for young people with lived experience of mental ill health.

We need an enthusiastic and skilled facilitator to join our team and continue the development of the Young People’s Recovery College in partnership with the Adult Recovery College and Counselling service.

Our vision is to help shape a Scotland where people with our conditions can live their lives well. Full lives, with the right support, at the right time, and in the right place.

By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as an Advice Line Call Coordinator you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living.

You will be part of Scotland’s leading charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live life to the full again. The Advice Line service is a free and confidential helpline that supports people living with our conditions to ensure that no life is half lived.

The Advice Line Call Coordinator will develop a team of volunteers who will respond to incoming phone calls/e-mails/text messages and direct service users to the appropriate people/team within CHSS and be responsible for administration duties related to the Advice Line.

We are seeking an enthusiastic individual with good communication skills, experience working in a health/social care setting and a basic understanding of medical terminology.

Experience of recruiting and line managing volunteers is desirable. CHSS employees enjoy a variety of organizational benefits including Company pension scheme, generous holiday allowance, company sick pay, employee welfare support and life assurance.

For an informal discussion please contact Laura Nelis, CHSS Advice Line Lead Coordinator on 07919 496636 or email: Laura.nelis@chss.org.uk CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”.

In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a PVG check.

We therefore aim to ensure that no applicant, volunteer or member of staff is unfairly treated on the grounds of offending background.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape how Waverley Care engages supporters online while playing a central role in growing our fundraising impact. You’ll lead on creating innovative, engaging, and data driven digital campaigns that inspire people to support our mission and ensure more people across Scotland can access the help they need.

Part of the Marketing & Communications Team, you’ll work closely with Fundraising colleagues to design and deliver campaigns that build awareness, generate income, and strengthen supporter relationships.

This role is ideal for someone who combines creativity with analytical thinking, a natural storyteller who can bring our cause to life online, while also using data and insights to refine and improve performance. As part of our small but ambitious team, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with new approaches, shape how we connect with audiences, and directly contribute to achieving zero new HIV transmission in Scotland by 2030.

Responsibilities include:

Collaborate with the Fundraising Team to design and deliver digital marketing strategies that drive lead generation, event sign-ups, and supporter engagement.

Produce engaging, high-quality content for websites, blogs, social media, and email campaigns that highlight Waverley Care’s impact and motivates supporters to take action.

Work closely with colleagues across fundraising and the Health Improvement Team to source powerful stories and ensure messaging is authentic, accurate, and impact-driven.

Attend fundraising challenges and events (which may take place outside normal office hours) to capture, create, and share compelling digital content in real time.

Manage and grow Waverley Care’s digital presence across multiple platforms, ensuring campaigns reach the right audiences and achieve fundraising and engagement goals.

Foster online relationships with donors, supporters, and partners, including donor acknowledgements and interactive engagement on social media.

Work with the Individual Giving Manager, Marketing & Communications Team, and external agencies to plan and execute individual giving campaigns that deliver measurable results.

Implement effective SEO strategies to increase visibility of fundraising initiatives and manage Google Grants campaigns to optimise reach.

Use analytics tools to monitor website and campaign performance, track user behaviour, and provide actionable insights to improve digital fundraising outcomes.

Explore and test new digital platforms, tools, and approaches to maximise supporter reach and fundraising opportunities.

Ensure all digital activity complies with fundraising regulations, GDPR, and digital marketing best practices. Ensure all digital content is consistent with Waverley Care’s brand, tone of voice, and values - helping to challenge stigma, promote inclusivity, and share positive stories.

About you

You’re a confident communicator and creative thinker with a passion for digital engagement and storytelling that motivates people to take action. Organised and detail-oriented, you thrive in a busy environment and enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues across marketing & communications, fundraising and service delivery.

You’ll bring hands-on experience in setting up, managing, and reviewing digital campaigns, with skills spanning website CMS (ideally WordPress), email marketing/CRM platforms, social media management, and SEO/analytics. You’re comfortable using data to inform decisions and are always looking for opportunities to test, learn, and optimise performance. Above all, you’re proactive, adaptable, and motivated by impact.

You can balance competing deadlines without losing sight of the bigger picture: using digital marketing to grow Waverley Care’s fundraising and help ensure that anyone affected by HIV or hepatitis C can access the support they need.
