Are you an experienced and creative storyteller, passionate about using your skills in writing, video production and design to help create a just world, free of poverty? If so, we want to hear from you!
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.
