Role

Who Cares? Scotland is Scotland’s only national independent membership organisation for Care Experienced people. Our mission is to secure a lifetime of equality, respect, and love for Care Experienced people in Scotland and we currently have over 3000 members.

The Events and Communications Support Officer will work as part of the Communications and Public Affairs Team at Who Cares? Scotland, reporting to the Communications and Public Affairs Coordinator. The post holder will be responsible for supporting the delivery of events, with an internal and external focus, across the organisation. The events we deliver are an important component of our ‘participation and belonging’ offer to Care Experienced people and are crucial in our attempts to build community and influence those in power. Covid-19 has impacted on our ability to deliver in-person, engaging events, and this role will be crucial in helping us to rebuild this offer with creativity, organisation, and flexibility.

Additionally, this role will contribute to the development of our national membership offer by ensuring it remains appealing and relevant to our current members and any potential new members. While the membership offer is an organisation-wide responsibility, this role will be key in delivering consistent, creative communications to our members, keeping them informed.

The right candidate will be highly organised, have an attention to detail, and have excellent verbal and written communication skills. They must be trustworthy and reliable, with a willingness to learn. An events qualification or previous experience of working in an events role, as well as creative digital skills are desirable for this role.

The location of this post is at our National Glasgow office with flexibility, however the post holder will be expected to travel across Scotland regularly to fulfil the remit of this role. Evening and weekend work, including occasional overnight stays, is a requirement of the role.

For an informal conversation about this opportunity please contact Katie MacMillan, Communications and Public Affairs Coordinator, at kmacmillan@whocaresscotland.org.
