NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We're seeking an experienced communications and engagement professional to become a vital part of our team.
You will play a key role in our team, taking responsibility for specific projects and delivering communications to over 14,000 members of staff and to all our external stakeholders, including our communities, our partners and the media. We're looking for a creative mind to develop and deliver innovative engagement opportunities that involve and inspire both our internal and external audiences.
Experience in communications, public relations, media or marketing, ideally supported by a relevant professional qualification and experience of public/community engagement is essential. Alongside our print materials, media releases and statements, digital communications are particularly important to us.
You'll be instrumental in shaping our online presence, contributing to the daily content and management of our website, intranet, and engaging social media platforms as part of a collaborative team.
If you have exceptional interpersonal personal skills and are resilient, organised and comfortable working with a wide range of people we would love to hear from you.
While NHS experience would be a fantastic asset, your ability to hit the ground running, bring a creative flair to successful communication campaigns, demonstrate a strong understanding of best practice stakeholder engagement, and showcase your expertise in producing engaging content and managing digital platforms is what truly excites us.
Please note this role may involve travel across the Tayside region so ability to travel is essential.
