Role
Shore Psychology CIC
Shore Psychology is the first social enterprise in Scotland with the mission to improve access to psychology over profit for shareholders. We understand the urgent and unmet need for accessible, trauma-informed and neuro-inclusive mental health support for marginalised and vulnerable segments of our communities.
Shore began trading in January 2025 and our services include psychological therapies, neurodevelopmental assessments for ADHD and autism, speech and language therapy, counselling, and play therapy. We also offer training and consultancy for organisations and teams. On the surface, Shore operates in a similar way to private practices where self-employed qualified clinicians deliver services to improve clients’ mental health and wellbeing. However, all surplus from fee-paying services is used to provide therapy and assessments for those most at risk of trauma reactions through our two local charity partners. We also provide trauma training for their staff, so they are equipped to identify trauma reactions in their service users.
This is an exciting time to join Shore. We opened our doors in January 2025 and have recently been nominated in the ‘One to Watch’ category by Social Enterprise Awards Scotland 2025. The postholder will be part of a small, supportive and highly-effective team (currently CEO, Clinical Lead, Operations Manager, Assistant Psychologist and self-employed associates), helping to shape the future of our practice.
Purpose of the role
The purpose of this role is to work closely with the Operations Manager, Director of Corporate Services and management team to spread the word about our new and innovative social enterprise.
With the support of our small and collaborative team, the postholder will develop a firm understanding of Shore Psychology’s social values, mission, services and marketing strategy. They will harness this knowledge to promote our clinic externally to potential clients, referral partners, and the wider community. This is an ideal role for someone who is near the start of their career in marketing/communications and would like to gain experience of working in a new and ambitious organisation, helping to shape and deliver our marketing strategy and build our surplus from fee-paying clients. The postholder will be creative, motivated and excited about building Shore’s profile.
The role will involve helping to plan and deliver a schedule of marketing activities, aligned with our integrated marketing strategy. In particular, the postholder will work in collaboration with the Director of Corporate Services and associate psychologists to develop the corporate strand of Shore’s business. They will help to identify potential corporate clients and develop bespoke materials for different market sectors. The postholder will create engaging content across our social media channels and produce digital, printed and audiovisual materials that reflect Shore’s brand and values. They will design and create content for newsletters, update the website, manage email marketing campaigns and support with event planning.
Additional information
The post holder will be based at our clinic at 2 Sandport Place in the Shore area of Leith. This part-time role is designed to work flexibly around the needs of our organisation and your other commitments.
