• Creating and maintaining event listings and event pages on the ASME website.
• Supporting event marketing and communications, including creating and scheduling graphics and engaging with members across social media.
• Creating and monitoring event budgets and ensuring expenditure represents good value.
• Supporting post-event evaluation and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Working within established procedures to ensure effective event management and accurate record keeping.
• Providing support and cover for colleagues when required.

About you

We are looking for someone who is highly organised, efficient and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines. You will need to be comfortable working both independently and as part of a small team, with the initiative to anticipate potential issues and find practical solutions.

You will have:

• Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple events simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues, members, suppliers and other stakeholders.
• A proactive approach, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to prioritise effectively.
• Confidence communicating professionally and diplomatically with people at all levels.
• Practical experience of digital and event management tools, including Microsoft Office and platforms such as Canva, Hootsuite, SurveyMonkey, Mailchimp, Microsoft Teams and/or Zoom.
• Confidence using social media platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, X and Facebook.

Experience of organising conferences, workshops or professional events would be advantageous, as would experience with WordPress or similar websites, event registration/delegate management systems, venues and suppliers, and monitoring or managing event budgets. A relevant qualification or equivalent experience in events and conference management is also desirable.

Aberlour Options Lothian, Prestonpans

Aberlour Options Lothian offers a range of short break services to children and young people with complex needs. We offer a safe, homely environment for a child to come and stay for a short break that gives their families a rest from their caring role. During that break, children enjoy a range of fun activities and experiences with our staff. Our service is very much a ‘home from home’ for the children who stay with us. We are within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian with access via the number 26, 111 and 124 bus routes.

The difference we make to families:

“It’s not easy to accept that sometimes you need help. We had reached rock bottom, but Aberlour Options Lothian was that lifesaving buoyancy aid.

It wasn't easy accepting leaving my son there especially in the early days when it was new to everyone. It is a safe and welcoming place and a second home in many respects now. Somewhere he is safe, cared for and has loads of fun with the carers and other children.

It’s not just about respite; we have received help with managing behaviour, preparing for hospital visits and operations. Help and advice when there seemed to be no one else listening or who understands. It’s hard to look back to where we were but no we wouldn't be here today without their help and support.

To sum it up: Saved our lives. Peace of mind. Finally a rest.”
