Become is the national charity fighting alongside children and young people for a better care system. We believe care-experienced young people should have the same chances as everyone else to live happy and fulfilled lives. But today, that’s far from the reality. The care system is in crisis and there are more children in care than ever before. They aren’t getting the love, support and stability that all young people need.

It’s not good enough.

We’re in a strong position to respond and it’s an exciting moment to be joining us. We’ve grown in recent years and have clear plans for the future.

As the Marketing and Communications Manager, you’ll lead the day-to-day delivery of our marketing and communications work. You’ll turn ideas into action, delivering engaging campaigns, compelling storytelling and consistent communications across all our channels. Working closely with the team across Become, external stakeholders and care-experienced young people to grow our reach, you'll build brand trust and strengthen our position as the national voice for care-experienced young people.

We're looking for someone with a strong background in digital marketing, an eye for design and a passion for amplifying young people’s voices. A natural collaborator, you’ll enjoy working in a dynamic environment that encourages proactive thinking, experimentation and ongoing learning.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

As an organisation serving children in care and young care leavers, we’re keen to receive applications from people with lived experience of care. We are actively seeking to bring diversity of perspectives and experience, and especially welcome applications from those from racially-minoritised communities. We ask all applicants to fill in an Equity and Diversity Monitoring form to better understand the diversity of applicants. This is optional, and anonymous and it will not be connected with your application.

How to apply

To apply please complete the application form on our recruitment platform by the application deadline.

The application form requires you to:
 

• Upload your up-to-date CV.
• Provide your answer to each competency question, using between100 and 400 words per answer. Please ensure you provide relevant examples that demonstrate how you meet the required skills and experiences as outlined in the job advert and description.

We also ask you to complete the Equity and Diversity Monitoring Form (this is not compulsory, but can help us identify areas we need to look at within our processes).

The competency questions we would like you to answer as part of the application form (using between 100 and 400 words per answer) are:

1. Tell us about a marketing and communications campaign that you’ve delivered to drive change. How did you measure its impact?
2. Give an example of when you’ve introduced new digital tools to your team. What were the opportunities and risks?
3. Tell us about a time when you’ve supported people whose voices are underrepresented to have their stories heard. What were the key considerations when providing this support?
4. We’re a busy team managing proactive and reactive work. Give an example of how you’ve supported a team member’s development alongside competing priorities.
5. What is your motivation to work for Become and why are you interested in working for an organisation that supports care-experienced children and young people?

If you have any questions about the role, please contact Victoria Wilson, Head of Marketing and Communications by e-mail (see Become website for contact form).

The Worker Support Centre (WSC) is a Scottish charity working in partnership with migrant workers at risk of exploitation across Scotland to secure their rights, challenge labour exploitation, build collective power, and drive lasting law and policy change. We are an evidence-led, worker-driven organisation with strong governance and a growing track record of policy impact. We're building a movement of people who welcome all workers, working towards a world where we are all safe, valued and respected at work — no matter our job or nationality.

WSC operates a worker-driven structure that places migrant workers at the centre of our governance and decision-making. We deliver casework alongside worker-led organising and policy advocacy, supporting migrant workers in seasonal agriculture and social care to meet basic needs and to understand and exercise their rights, including through our Worker Power programme, which builds solidarity between workers and within communities.

This is a new, senior role bringing together fundraising and communications leadership at WSC. The Fundraising and Communications Manager will lead the strategic direction for both functions, with a particular emphasis on hands-on delivery of fundraising activity — building relationships with trusts, corporate partners and individual donors, and securing the income that underpins WSC's growth.

On the communications side, the postholder will set strategy, editorial direction and quality standards, working closely with and line managing the Senior Communications and Movement Building Officer, who leads day-to-day content and campaign delivery. This is a role for someone who can operate strategically with the Executive Director and Board while remaining close to the detail of funding applications, donor relationships and income targets.

● Build and maintain funder relationships, including stewardship, reporting deadlines and site visits.

● Maintain the funder pipeline, income tracking and forecasting, and provide regular financial reporting to the Executive Director.

● Ensure fundraising activity complies with charity governance, fundraising regulation and data protection requirements.

Communications (strategic oversight and delegated delivery)

● Set the strategic direction for WSC's communications, ensuring it amplifies the voices of migrant workers and supports movement-building, policy influence and fundraising goals.

● Develop streams of work specifically targeting Scottish Government pledges on areas including fair work, human trafficking, migrant integration, housing and poverty, working with policy colleagues to shape public messaging.

● Provide direction, editorial oversight and quality assurance for content produced by the Senior Communications and Movement Building Officer, including the website, social media, press, newsletters and campaign materials.

● Act as WSC's senior media contact, and through the Senior Communications and Movement Building Officer ensure appropriate relationships are built with journalists to secure profile-raising opportunities on migrant worker rights, fair work and labour exploitation.

● Ensure consistent brand, tone of voice and values-led, worker-centred storytelling across all communications channels.

● Oversee communications that support fundraising campaigns, donor communications and public engagement.

Line Management

● Line manage the Senior Communications and Movement Building Officer, including regular supervision, goal-setting and professional development.

● Support the Senior Communications and Movement Building Officer to deliver day-to-day content, campaigns and movement-building communications activity in line with agreed strategy.

● Manage freelancers, agencies or consultants (for example design, digital or PR support) as required.

Governance & Reporting

● Ensure compliance with fundraising, charity, data protection (GDPR) and safeguarding legislation across fundraising and communications activity.

● Maintain accurate fundraising and communications databases (CRM, Mailchimp and similar), and provide regular reporting and analysis to the Executive Director and Board.

● Participate in the WSC Senior Management Team, helping review alignment of WSC’s work with strategic vision. 

Participation & Values
