This page has information on:
- Job status: This is a permanent, full-time role in our busy Communications team reporting to the Marketing Manager
- Location: This role is based in our Edinburgh office and with our flexible working environment, your time can be split between home and the office to suit.
- Salary: The starting salary on this band for this post is £27,736 per annum.
Seafish is here to give the UK seafood sector the support it needs to thrive. Our work makes a huge difference to the seafood industry and the communities and people who rely on it. As a public body, we collaborate with a wide range of partners – from seafood businesses and trade bodies to government, regulators and environmental organisations. Our work includes research, advice and guidance, campaigns and training and we cover topics like sustainability and climate change.
In the Communications team it’s our job to promote the work we do at Seafish to the right people, in the right way at the right time. We’re an energetic team responsible for delivering a packed programme of multi-channel activity to our internal and external audiences. We support a huge industry that's changing all the time. There are challenges to manage but there are also plenty of positive stories to tell.
Our Communications team has two functions: a comms and PR function focused on content creation and calendar management for internal and external comms, and a channels function focused on platform management, and data/insight and brand. This role is in our channels function but we all work together closely, sharing our knowledge and expertise as one team. A few of the team work remotely and others work a hybrid pattern, both remotely and from our Edinburgh office. We all come together for face to face catch up sessions throughout the year and additional travel may be required for conferences or events.
At Seafish we operate in a working environment which focuses on performance not presence. Working in this way means having autonomy and accountability in equal parts, so you can work in the way that’s most effective for you, as long you deliver your work to the expected standards. You’ll have a personal development plan which clearly outlines the objectives and competencies for your role and learning and development goals. You’ll have regular catch ups with your line manager, along with mid-year and end of year reviews to discuss your work and performance.
