This provides an exciting opportunity to take on a pivotal role leading the marketing and communication for a rapidly growing charity. At Listen Well Scotland, we focus on developing listening skills through online and face-to-face training to support mental wellbeing. New online courses and virtual workshops continue to be developed as requests for listening training expand, To achieve our ambitious goals for growth we will need to promote and market our courses widely.
Your role will be to increase the visibility of Listen Well Scotland’s presence nationally and to engage creatively to make key stakeholders aware of the high-quality listening training resources and services available.

What is the VF?
The VF is a charity passionate about supporting the vulnerable veterans and it has paid out in grants over £20M since inception in 2016. It operates as an independent grant-making foundation offering targeted support to a broad range of charities and charitable organisations that support those in need among serving armed forces’ personnel, veterans, operationally qualified seafarers, and their immediate families.
Funded projects include those that tackle homelessness, increase employment, overcome poverty, and provide welfare and medical support. It also supports initiatives that increase confidence and social integration, as well as reducing dependence on alcohol and drugs.
The VF gives priority to well-run small and medium-sized charities and organisations in need of funds that help the target beneficiaries.
To date the majority of funds raised by the VF have come from the highly successful Veterans' Lottery (VL). However, individual donations are growing significantly and show potential for further development. We now need a member of staff to support the VF’s Fundraising Manager in building a broader fundraising base.
More information about the VF can be found at: veteransfoundation.org.uk.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
