Role

Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet. 

Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife. 

Our Communications Team sits at the heart of this work, helping to tell the story of what we do and inspire people to get involved. As part of the Core Team, they lead the development and delivery of marketing and communications across all Greener Kirkcaldy projects, creating engaging content for a variety of platforms and audiences. 

The team coordinates the organisation and promotion of Greener Kirkcaldy events, manages our events calendar and booking systems and delivers campaigns and engagement activities that connect people with climate action and community initiatives. 

The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative person to support this small team in planning and delivering Greener Kirkcaldy’s marketing, communications, campaigns and events programme – helping more people hear about, participate in and benefit from our work. 

You’ll create content for social media, our website and newsletters, help organise, promote and deliver community events, support marketing campaigns and work with colleagues across the organisation to share the impact of our work. No two days are the same, and you’ll gain experience across digital marketing, events, media, design and community engagement. 

This role would suit someone at the start of their communications career, including recent graduates or people looking to build on some communications experience. Whether your experience comes from university, volunteering, work or personal projects, we’ll provide training, mentoring and support to help you build your skills and confidence. 

If you’re creative, organised, enjoy working with people and want your work to make a real difference in your local community, we’d love to hear from you.
