At Capability Scotland, we’re looking for a talented and enthusiastic Design & Digital Officer to take our brand to the next level.

Monitoring website performance (with tools like Google Analytics) and spotting opportunities to improve user journeys and SEO
Liaising with developers and external suppliers when bigger fixes or upgrades are needed
Training colleagues to use digital tools and templates with confidence
You’ll collaborate closely with the wider Fundraising and Communications team, especially our Marketing & Comms Officer.
What you will need:
2–4 years of experience in a design and/or digital role.
A strong design skills set and a solid portfolio (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.)
To know your way around website management (CMS like WordPress preferred)
An understanding UX, SEO, mobile-first design, and accessibility principles
Experience with video editing or animation (bonus points for After Effects or CapCut skills!)
An organised, proactive approach, enjoying juggling multiple creative projects
The ability to turn complex messages into content that's simple, visual and engaging
