The Role
SCIAF has an exciting opportunity to join our team as the permanent Content Production Officer. The role sits in the Marketing and Communications team and plays a vital role in helping us to gather and tell stories of change, primarily in support of our fundraising campaigns.
The post-holder will work closely with teams across the organisation, as well as our partner and sister organisations, and travel to visit SCIAF projects worldwide, in order to gather powerful stories and turn them into emotional and compelling content that captivates, inspires and compels action. They’ll focus on producing materials and content for fundraising appeals, campaigns and core supporter communications, as well as responding to humanitarian emergencies.
The role will be based in our Glasgow office, although you may be working from home initially.
Who we’re looking for
We’re seeking a strong and creative storyteller who can use their skills in writing, video production and design to produce powerful and engaging content that helps us to reach our ambitious goals – whether through fundraising, campaigning for political change or raising our brand profile. The role would suit someone with strong project management skills and experience managing content production processes from start to finish, working with a range of suppliers. As a small team, we are looking for a high-performing individual with initiative and enthusiasm, someone flexible and responsive, who can use creativity and strong problem-solving skills to help us reach our goals.
Safeguarding
The post-holder will travel overseas to less developed parts of the world as required and will therefore come into contact with children and vulnerable adults. SCIAF undertakes to ensure that all staff, volunteers and relevant others, whose work might involve contact with children, will have completed additional recruitment procedures and have obtained a satisfactory Enhanced PVG Check from Disclosure Scotland. We would also confirm that all staff are expected to adhere to a Code of Conduct, which specifies the attitudes and behaviour that all staff are expected to maintain.

About us
Our Cancer Awareness Roadshow was founded in 2006 in partnership with Ronan Keating and the Marie Keating Foundation. It plays a vital role in achieving our vision of beating cancer sooner by directly reaching people most in need with tailored health messages, encouraging them to make positive changes to their health and signposting to local health services. The Roadshow currently consists of three mobile units that visit some of the UK’s most deprived and diverse communities where cancer incidence and mortality rates are significantly above average. For more information on the Roadshow please see the Cancer Research UK Roadshow Website. Our regular Cancer Awareness Roadshow was developed off the back of the Roadshow in 2015, to enable us to have more in-depth ongoing conversations with people, to help them to sustain change in a supportive environment. The Glasgow activity is a regular indoor Roadshow only model, with a usual pattern of three days a week of Roadshow sites and one admin day.
