Job Purpose: Do you have the skills to transform how one of Scotland’s largest councils tells its story online?

We’re looking for an energetic, creative and digital-savvy Digital Content Officer to help shape our social media and online communications.

This is more than a content creation role. It's an opportunity to take the lead in modernising our social media presence, bringing fresh thinking, new ideas and innovative storytelling techniques that help our messages cut through and connect with communities

We want someone who instinctively knows what makes people stop scrolling. Someone who can turn everyday stories into engaging content, spot emerging trends, experiment with new formats, and help us develop a bold new approach to digital communications.

Please APPLY ONLINE.

The Highland Council understands that diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity and being fair and inclusive. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds, representative of the communities we serve and particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be under-represented in our workforce.

As a disability confident employer, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum essential criteria requirements for the post.

Shortlisted applicants will normally be contacted by email, unless otherwise stated. Please check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder.
