Role

Do you believe in the power of storytelling to inspire change? We do, and we believe that every step tells a story. 

At Walking Scotland, we know that people’s stories can touch hearts, shift perspectives and spark action. We’re looking for a talented and driven Stories and Media Officer to help us share the power of walking and wheeling across Scotland.

About Walking Scotland

It’s an exciting time to join us. We’ve just unveiled our new name and brand, and as we approach our 30th anniversary, we’re stepping confidently into a bold new chapter.

Walking Scotland is a charity that helps make walking and wheeling a part of everyday life. We promote the benefits of walking and wheeling on our physical, social and mental health. Our programmes connect communities and inspire positive behaviour change. We also improve places and spaces to walk and wheel.

We’re an advocate for making walking and wheeling inclusive. We work with partners and local communities to reduce barriers. This ensures everyone has the chance to walk and wheel everywhere they go. By focusing on walking and wheeling, we’re helping to solve some of Scotland’s biggest challenges, from health inequalities to the climate-nature emergency.

About the role

As our Stories and Media Officer you’ll gather and share powerful stories that show how walking and wheeling transforms lives and communities. You’ll craft compelling content that informs, inspires and connects across a range of platforms, from social media and press releases to campaigns and sector reports. You’ll also be the first point of contact for media and press enquiries and will raise the profile of Walking Scotland through local and national PR.
