Rape Crisis Scotland (RCS) is Scotland’s leading organisation working to support survivors of sexual violence, transform attitudes, improve the justice response to sexual crime and, ultimately, to end sexual violence in all its forms.
Rape Crisis Scotland is recruiting an External Affairs and Communications Manager to lead the work of the External Affairs, Communications & Participation Team at RCS.
Key responsibilities of the role include:
1. To ensure the development and delivery of an engaging, accessible, and high-quality communications presence that increases public awareness of issues relevant to gender-based violence and reduces societal tolerance of it.
2. Coordinate the organisation’s external affairs work, and oversee the delivery of the organisation’s policy work.
3. To ensure that survivor voices are heard at RCS through various forms of participation activities, and that this essential feedback is embedded within organisation processes and practices.
What we offer:
* A warm, welcoming and engaging organisational culture.
* Access to internal and external training and development opportunities.
* An excellent employment package with generous terms and conditions, including 43 days of leave for full-time staff and an employer pension scheme.
Due to the nature of our Collective Management structure, this is a unique role. We are the last true collective organisation that operates within the Scottish Women’s Aid Network. You will be involved in and have shared ownership of all areas of work Clydebank Women’s Aid undertakes.
Fundamentally, this is a role that allows the opportunity to work with other feminists who, like you, are committed to improving the lives of women, children, and young people who have experienced domestic abuse and overthrowing patriarchy. By working collectively, we are each able to take our equal share of the workload and as such promote a supportive and positive work environment. We value each other, our experiences, our health, our skills – both collectively and individually – and we are committed to upholding our compassionate and trusting work culture, our sisterhood, and our positive relationships through formal and informal practices such as bi-annual team building events.
This would be the ideal role for someone who does not want to be working from home and is looking for a varied and interesting role as no two days in Clydebank Women’s Aid are the same. You will have the unique perspective as a worker and a manager. By supporting the women, children, and young people directly, you will gain first-hand insight into the challenges and barriers they face. You will have the opportunity to contribute to local and national campaigns and legislation that could ultimately make a difference to the issues that the women, children, and young people that we support face on a day-to-day basis. Your passion, vision, attitudes, skills, and ideas will be valued and will be used to propel Clydebank Women’s Aid forward.
You will also be a Trustee of the charity and as such you will be required to make collective decisions on behalf of Clydebank Women’s Aid and ensure we are carrying out our remit for the public benefit, comply with and work to Clydebank Women’s Aid constitution, act in Clydebank Women’s Aid’s best wishes, manage Clydebank Women’s Aid resources responsibly, act with reasonable care and skill and ensure Clydebank Women’s Aid is accountable by complying with statutory accounting and reporting requirements that demonstrate that the charity is run well. We would urge candidates to look over the information on Trustee duties on the office of the Scottish Charity Register website for more information: oscr.org.uk/managing-a-charity/trustee-duties.
As a worker and Collective Manager at Clydebank Women’s Aid, we are all trained to the same level and have access to the same training opportunities, and Clydebank Women’s Aid will invest in your personal and professional development. With this, we do not have the expectation that you already have completed specific qualifications. Instead, we ask that you will be willing to work towards and gain an SVQ that meets both the standards of Clydebank Women’s Aid and the SSSC. The cost of which will be funded by Clydebank Women’s Aid. The cost of SSSC registration and PVG updates will also be covered by Clydebank Women’s Aid (within budgetary constraints).
This post is currently funded by the Legal Education Foundation until 30th Sept 2027.
We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and especially welcome applications from women of colour and those under-represented in the workforce.
