This is an exciting opportunity to join the busy, friendly, and creative Strategic Communications and Marketing team at Social Security Scotland, an Executive Agency of the Scottish Government.
Social Security Scotland was created by the Scottish Government to deliver a number of benefits. These include payments that support families, young people, carers, disabled people, and young people starting work.
The Strategic Communications and Marketing team is responsible for communications advice, planning, and delivery of communications activity to raise awareness of benefits administered by Social Security Scotland to help people be aware of and apply for benefits they may be entitled to.
The successful applicant will act as an account manager who collaborates with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that communications outputs and partnership activity are effective, clear, and reach people in engaging ways. This person will be responsible for implementing strategic communications, marketing, and engagement plans for a corporate audience. This will include supporting the delivery of creative outputs across a range of online and offline channels.
This team plays an active role in media management with a focus on corporate issues but a broader understanding of benefit-specific queries. This includes proactive PR and also responding to any reactive media inquiries. The successful candidate will be part of an on-call media rota.
The External Communications Manager (Corporate) will contribute to the ongoing evaluation of the team's outputs and will use this analysis to influence work plans.
