Purpose:
In this role you will work closely with Engender’s Communications team to ensure our work is effectively communicated in innovative and accessible ways to our key audiences – diverse communities of women, women’s and equalities organisations, the media, government and wider civil society. You will be involved in helping shape a wide variety of materials and outputs that support our broader advocacy and campaigning aims.
This role will also specifically lead on delivering a creative, engaging communications approach and content for Engender’s Equal Media and Culture Centre (EMCC) project. EMCC focuses on gender equality within Scotland’s media and cultural landscape. It researches and monitors issues of equal representation, inclusion, gender stereotyping and women’s right to cultural participation. It also involves collaboration between researchers, the women’s sector, and leaders and creators from the media and cultural industries.
The role will actively engage our key audiences and partners, particularly diverse groups of women to advance intersectional gender equality, and specifically in the media, creative and cultural sectors in Scotland.
The role involves working closely with colleagues from across the Engender team.

Equalities statement
Engender exists to promote women’s equality in Scotland and to challenge the intersecting discrimination that persists in our society and communities. To do this effectively, it is crucial that our team understands and reflects a diversity of perspectives. We therefore encourage and support applications from people from a range of backgrounds, including those that may be under-represented in the Voluntary Sector in Scotland, including but not limited to, people from minority ethnic communities, people with disabilities, LGBTI communities and people who have experienced economic deprivation.
To ensure that our staff thrive and succeed at Engender, we are continuously working to create a workplace that is inclusive, accessible, flexible and fair, and where differences in background, culture, identity and lived experience are valued and respected.
