Make a real difference to people living with dementia and their families.

STAND is a Fife charity led by people with lived experience of dementia. We believe that life doesn’t stop with a diagnosis — people can continue to grow, connect and enjoy new experiences. Nine trustees currently sit on STAND's Board of Trustees and, as a peer-led charity, three (including the Chairperson) live with dementia, three are/were carers and three have professional backgrounds.

We are currently seeking the following new Trustees to share with us their experience, talents, and passions:

• Trustee Secretary (further details attached)
• Trustee (ideally with experience in fundraising, but experience in campaigning, marketing, HR, creative pursuits or digital technology would also be beneficial).

Insight or personal experience of dementia or caring responsibilities would be an advantage. The STAND team is friendly and supportive, and you will be working with the charity's Development Lead and Administration Officer alongside trustees, volunteers, staff and members of the charity.

The Board of Trustees currently convenes every six weeks (usually from 2.00pm – 3.30pm), with the AGM in the autumn. Office Bearers and senior staff meetings usually take place quarterly. Most meetings are held in Kirkcaldy and travel expenses are reimbursed up to 30 miles from Kirkcaldy. Rarely, an additional Extraordinary General Meeting of the Board may take place.

Between meetings, it will be necessary to work remotely.

The Communications Officer is a delivery-focused position responsible for implementing agreed external and internal communications activity for Plan Vivo. The role supports visibility, clarity, and consistency across channels, both internal and external, without owning organisational strategy, advocacy, or public affairs. This role incorporates elements of internal communications as related to material coordination and delivery across the Plan Vivo programme areas, the extended management team (EMT) and the senior management team (SMT).

This role is explicitly not responsible for setting communications strategy, leading advocacy, or representing Plan Vivo in policy or political contexts. These are the responsibility of the senior management team (SMT).

Background to the work of The Canmore Trust

Suicide is now the highest cause of death in the UK under the age of 35 years. Recent work in Scotland suggests that around 20% of men and women in Scotland under the age of 35 years will experience significant suicidal thinking.

The Gibson family, motivated by the loss of their son and brother, Cameron, to suicide in October 2019, established a charity, “The Canmore Trust” (SC051511) in January 2022 to act in suicide prevention, and in suicide postvention, with the following Aims:

• To work with schools, colleges and universities to raise awareness of suicide and to prevent suicide, promoting an individualised “suicide safety plan”;
• To establish a number of safe places where families affected by suicide can spend time, at no financial cost, rebuilding their lives after suicide of a close family member. Trained individuals with lived and living experience of suicide will be on hand to assist as required;
• To ensure a co-ordinated programme of research investigating and identifying psychological and physiological risk factors in suicide;
• To establish a group of trained “Experienced Friends” to work alongside the police and other agencies to ensure that one such supporter is immediately available to any family in crisis following a suicide;
• To work across the suicide charities sector to co-ordinate and facilitate a unified approach to fundraising and action against suicide.

The Canmore Trust views itself as part of the “suicide family” and relationships are at the core of who we are and what we do. Its values are: collaborative, personal, determined, compassionate, and hopeful.

Main task of Job:

The purpose of the role is to lead income generation and digital communication for The Canmore Trust. Working closely with the management team you will deliver income targets through proactive donor recruitment while taking excellent care of existing donors. Identify new key relationships with individuals as well as with businesses, groups and associations, within Scotland and across the UK.

You will represent the vision and purpose of The Canmore Trust whilst ensuring the efficient delivery and oversight of all fundraising and digital communication undertaken by The Trust which will include, but not limited to:

Fundraising

• Development and implementation of the overall fundraising strategy and fundraising activity in conjunction with The Canmore Trust management team.
• Developing, planning and coordinating innovative fundraising campaigns which align with the values of the Trust.
• Identifying fundraising income stream opportunities with individuals, corporate partners, and community groups.
• Supporting the Operations Manager to produce innovative bids and proposals for applications to Grants and Trusts.
• Developing the supporter journey to be the ‘gold standard’.
• Identifying and co-ordinating events that raise awareness of work of The Canmore Trust and/or fundraising opportunities.

Background and Need Case

Scotland has formally recognised a biodiversity crisis and is widely acknowledged as one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth. Urgent, evidence-based action is required if we are to reverse ecological decline and achieve meaningful nature recovery. Badgers, as native ecosystem engineers, play an important role in soil health, habitat dynamics and wider ecological resilience. Yet they remain one of Scotland’s most misunderstood species, with long-standing myths continuing to influence public attitudes and policy debates. In the current digital environment, misinformation spreads rapidly through social media, often outpacing scientific evidence and responsible conservation messaging.

Scottish Badgers is Scotland’s only charity dedicated to the conservation, protection and welfare of badgers in Scotland. Established in 1999, we have spent more than two decades promoting evidence-led policy development and we’re proud to have influenced progressive changes in animal welfare legislation in recent years. However, as a small, volunteer-led national charity, Scottish Badgers does not currently have the dedicated communications capacity needed to respond proactively, challenge inaccuracies constructively, and ensure that accessible, science-based information reaches communities, supporters and decision-makers. Investment in a Communications Partner is therefore essential.

This role will enable the charity to translate complex ecological knowledge into clear public messaging, strengthen digital engagement, support informed civic discourse, and contribute meaningfully to Scotland’s wider nature recovery ambitions.

Role Responsibilities

Our Communications Partner will deliver the following priorities:

• Design and deliver a coordinated 6 month digital campaign. This will focus on stabilising and rebuilding our ongoing digital presence.
• Consolidate our digital presence (currently across multiple national and local accounts)

Where time allows within the contract, our Communications Parter will also:

• Manage and develop our social media presence, building connectivity with other similar organisations
• Support regular member newsletters (with content provided by Trustees and volunteers)
• Assist trustees in translating advocacy priorities into accessible communications
• Provide monthly analytics reports, leading to a longer term communications strategy

Experience

Experience in charity communications and digital campaigning is essential. Experience in wildlife or environmental communications is desirable.

Children in Scotland is currently seeking an experienced Communications Officer to join our collaborative and driven Communications & Marketing Team.

Children in Scotland has numerous functions that support the children’s sector in Scotland - from membership services and events to policy and participation activities, as well as delivering a number of services (Enquire, Reach, Resolve, My Rights, My Say). The Communications Officer will play an important role in raising awareness of both the organisation and the key issues facing the sector – through engaging content, social media and brand activity.

We are looking for a great team player who enjoys the process of collaboration to achieve creative and dynamic communications. They will take a highly-organised and proactive approach to their responsibilities, and have a close eye for detail.

We would love to hear from candidates with a background in content marketing, social media, or multimedia, as well as a good understanding of digital communications.

The successful candidate will be ready to hit the ground running, but will be offered an excellent induction and support through the first few months. Our commitment to staff wellbeing is reflected in our flexible and hybrid working policies, our organisational wellbeing working group, regular line manager one-to-ones, and quarterly in-person all-staff away days. They will join a brilliant group of supportive staff who are passionate about making a difference to children’s lives and work hard to achieve this.

Please read our full job description for details of responsibilities and criteria for this role.

This is a hybrid role with some flexibility around working-from-home days. Members of the communications team are generally encouraged to spend a minimum of one day per week working at the Children in Scotland office in Edinburgh, and attend mandatory quarterly in-person all-staff days and departmental meetings.

About Children in Scotland

Children in Scotland is a welcoming and dynamic charity that amplifies the voices, views and experiences of our members and children, families and professionals across Scotland. We achieve this through direct services, meaningful participation, policy work, inspiring communications and sector-leading events and learning opportunities.

We are a vibrant and inclusive community of dedicated individuals and organisations who use our skills and passion to bring evidence-based and fresh thinking together, with one shared aim of giving all children in Scotland an equal chance to flourish.

We are stronger together in driving lasting impact for Scotland’s children.

Diversity

Children in Scotland values the contribution of all our staff, whatever their background. Our recruitment decisions are based on fair, open processes, with appointment on merit. We welcome applications from everyone.
