Help us grow the Living Wage movement in Scotland!

We’re excited to share an opportunity to join the Living Wage Scotland team at the Poverty Alliance to help us expand our employer engagement activities and increase our impact.

Living Wage Scotland was established in April 2014 by the Poverty Alliance with the aim of increasing the number of employers in Scotland who are recognised for paying their staff the real Living Wage. It is a partnership with Living Wage Foundation, with the Scottish Government as a key funder.

The high-profile campaign has been hugely successful in accrediting more than 3900 Living Wage employers in Scotland, who have delivered pay uplifts to the real Living Wage to more than 70,000 workers. Almost £600 million in extra wages has gone to low-paid workers in Scotland since the campaign began.

The Living Wage Projects Officer will play a crucial role in retaining and growing the number of Living Wage accredited employers in Scotland and supporting the growth of additional accreditation schemes that support fair work: namely Living Hours and Living Pension accreditation.

We are seeking someone with experience in employer or business engagement with excellent communication and persuasion skills, and a proactive approach to collaboration. The Living Wage Projects Officer will work in a small team to engage with employers in a range of sectors and industries across Scotland to recognise the social value and business benefits of our accreditation schemes. Some travel is required to attend or deliver events, or to meet employers in person where needed.
