About the Worker Support Centre

The Worker Support Centre (WSC) is a Scottish charity working in partnership with migrant workers at risk of exploitation across Scotland to secure their rights, challenge labour exploitation, build collective power, and drive lasting law and policy change. We are an evidence-led, worker-driven organisation with strong governance and a growing track record of policy impact. We're building a movement of people who welcome all workers, working towards a world where we are all safe, valued and respected at work — no matter our job or nationality.

WSC operates a worker-driven structure that places migrant workers at the centre of our governance and decision-making. We deliver casework alongside worker-led organising and policy advocacy, supporting migrant workers in seasonal agriculture and social care to meet basic needs and to understand and exercise their rights, including through our Worker Power programme, which builds solidarity between workers and within communities.

About the role

This is a new role, created as part of a restructure of WSC's fundraising and communications function. The Strategic Communications Officer will work closely with, and be line managed by, the Fundraising and Communications Manager, who sets the strategic direction, editorial oversight and quality standards for WSC's communications.

The postholder will lead the day-to-day delivery of WSC's communications and movement-building activity, creating compelling content across digital, print and social channels, supporting media and press work, and playing a central role in delivering WSC's Communications Strategy. This includes helping to build and mobilise a worker-led movement, supporting coalition and ally relationships, and delivering campaign moments that build public and political support for the fair treatment of workers on tied and temporary visas.

This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong strategic communications and content skills with a genuine interest in organising, campaigning and movement-building, and who is comfortable balancing planned content and campaign delivery with reactive, fast-moving opportunities. This is a senior officer role for someone who combines significant, demonstrable experience in communications with a genuine interest in organising, campaigning and movement-building, and who is comfortable balancing planned content and campaign delivery with reactive, fast-moving opportunities in partnership with workers. We are looking for someone with relevant professional training or development, for example in media relations, campaigning or organising, or framing and narrative approaches, who can bring a good level of independent judgement to the role.
