A bit about the role
We’re looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, Copywriter to join the Scouts Brand and Content team at Gilwell Park.
In this role, you’ll create innovative written content that supports the Scouts strategy: growing Scouts to benefit more young people from all backgrounds, especially in the communities that most need support. From thumb-stopping social media posts to long form copy for news stories and reports, your way with words and creativity will tell the Scouts story in a bold and engaging way. You’ll be creating copy for a broad range of content so it’s essential you have a high level of digital literacy and visual awareness.
You’ll play an important role in project teams, collaborating on work that’s on-brand. These projects help Scouts support more young people to gain skills for life and help us achieve our growth, inclusion and other targets.
You’ll be a warm and confident communicator, with the ability to build relationships and interview with sensitivity. You’ll draw out the best stories and information from young people and adults alike, whether it’s over the phone, online or in person.
You’ll also have excellent organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise deadlines, successfully manage workloads, and oversee projects from start to completion.
