Join Our Team as a Marketing & Communications Officer
Edinburgh (Vantage Point) / Hybrid | Full-Time, 37 hrs/week | £32,390 per year
Permanent role with great benefits + purpose-driven work
Looking for a creative role where your ideas actually make a difference?
At Capability Scotland, we’re on a mission to build a more inclusive world for disabled people — and we’re looking for a talented Marketing & Communications Officer to help us spread the word and grow our impact.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who’s passionate about storytelling, branding, digital content and cause-driven communications. You’ll be at the heart of how we promote our services, support fundraising, engage communities, and champion the voices of the people we support.
As our Marketing & Comms Officer, you’ll be:
Supporting the development and delivery of creative, engaging marketing and communication strategies
Creating standout content – from press releases and case studies to social media posts, blogs, videos and newsletters
Managing our website and social channels (WordPress, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
Promoting key events, services, campaigns and fundraising efforts
Helping maintain our visual and written brand across internal and external communications
Working closely with media contacts and building positive press relationships
Keeping an eye on analytics and reporting on engagement and campaign performance
Playing a key role in organising events — both internal (like staff awards) and public-facing ones (like open days and fundraising initiatives)
What you will need:
Degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, or a related field.
2–4 years’ experience in a marketing, communications or PR role
A knack for writing clear, engaging, and audience-specific content
Experience using tools like WordPress, Canva or Adobe, Mailchimp and social scheduling platforms
An eye for good design, consistent branding, and accessible communication
The confidence to work independently and juggle multiple projects
A collaborative mindset – you’ll be working with teams across the organisation
Bonus points if you’re great at storytelling, know your way around basic video editing, or have experience in the charity or social care sector.
Working with Capability Scotland brings you lots of benefits:
A competitive salary of £32,390 per annum
Edinburgh office location with excellent travel links & hybrid working
Excellent annual leave of 32 days per year, increasing with service
Generous and enhanced pension schemes and family benefits
As a member of our autoenrollment pension scheme, £10,000 provided in the case of Death in Service
Flexible working is available
Access to shopping discounts through the Perks At Work scheme
Free 24/7 employee assistance programme
Cycle to Work Scheme
