In short, you’ll be the digital spark that helps us grow our reach, boost donations, and bring our mission to ensure no child faces hospital alone to life online. More specifically, you’ll:

• Create and manage engaging digital content across multiple channels - think compelling videos, attention-grabbing posts and storytelling that makes people stop scrolling.
• Run paid social media campaigns that drive real results (and donations!).
• Bring data to life with smart insights and sharp reporting - you’ll know what’s working, what’s not, and how to fix it.

• Help us push boundaries with creative new ideas and fresh approaches.

Let’s talk about you:

• Have at least three years of experience working across digital channels - social, email, web, ads, and beyond.
• Know your way around Meta Ads Manager and Google Analytics, and aren’t afraid to dig into data.
• Have some solid experience with videography and editing tools (we don’t need Oscar-level, just engaging and authentic!)
• Are a natural storyteller who knows how to tailor content to different platforms and audiences.
• Are excited by the idea of using your skills to help seriously ill children - and want to be part of a small but mighty team doing work that matters.

Nice to haves -

• You've spent time in a fast-paced marketing or fundraising setting and know how to juggle deadlines, priorities, and competing needs.
• You get how digital marketing can fuel fundraising - and you're excited to use creative, data-driven strategies to inspire people to give generously.

Why ECHC?

Working at ECHC isn’t your average digital marketing job. Yes, you’ll deal with the website and the data. But you’ll also be helping children and families through some of the toughest times in their lives. You’ll work with passionate, supportive colleagues who care deeply about our mission. And you’ll be trusted to lead, innovate, and have fun while doing it. We’ve got big future plans, and we want someone just as ambitious to help us take our digital presence to the next level.

About the Scottish Child Law Centre

We are a specialist hub protecting children’s rights in Scotland. We provide free legal advice about child law and children’s rights to promote equitable access to justice and specialist training which strengthens advocacy and sustainable support for the rights of the child. We also use evidence from our direct engagement and work with partners to influence long term change for children.

Importantly, we are the only specialist hub for all ages of children and across all areas of child-related Scots’ law. We are here for children, and those who care and support them, and all advice is provided by our qualified solicitors.

Many more children and families are struggling with complex issues in the backdrop of increasing poverty, and demand for our free legal advice has significantly increased. We also know from feedback that our specialist training is deeply valued in the current fast-moving children’s policy environment and as children’s rights are implemented.

The Scottish Child Law Centre’s vision is for ‘All children growing up in Scotland to have their rights respected, protected and fulfilled.’ To support that vision and the growing need, we have recently produced a communications strategy to raise our profile and further extend our reach, particularly targeting communities experiencing multiple breaches of their rights.

The Centre has been through a rapid transformation over the past few years with new, innovative services being set up to ensure that children and young people have knowledge of their rights and how to realise them. We will be opening an in-person free community law clinic in Govanhill in September to allow us to reach those children and families who need us most and provide tailored support to empower families to realise children’s rights. We will also be launching our Access to Justice Programme for secondary school students, which is a course that has been co-produced with the students of Bucksburn Academy. The course aims to coach young people on access to justice and will provide opportunities for young people to influence change in their communities.
