SCOTLAND: The Big Picture has a compelling story to tell about the transformational recovery of Scotland’s nature. It’s called rewilding.

We are a growing organisation with an exciting portfolio of nature recovery projects to deliver across Scotland, and we believe passionately in the power of storytelling to help turn the tide for nature recovery.

As Digital Communications Officer you will be at the heart of that storytelling.

We seek a rare animal: a digital communications specialist whose natural habitat is the story of rewilding. We need a social media virtuoso who can build on the growth of our online community, maximizing the reach and influence of our work. We also need you to contribute content for use across all our digital channels, and to help us optimise the impact of that content.

A proactive and innovative approach to identify person-centred and community-driven solutions will be most welcome and fit well with the teams shared outcomes.

As the Office Manager you will join the Operations Team, working to ensure that staff and volunteers have safe and welcoming spaces to work, effective operational systems and efficient processes; allowing them to focus on what matters most – making a difference to LGBTI young people.
