Content Researcher and Writer - Citizens Advice Scotland

The Citizens Advice network in Scotland is the largest independent advice service in the country. Citizens Advice Scotland is a charity within this network – we act as a national organisation supporting and representing the service as a whole and the interests of citizens.

Citizens Advice Scotland aims to ensure that people can access the advice that they need, where, when and how they want to in order to understand the impact of Brexit on their lives and to manage their circumstances. 

We are currently recruiting for a Content Researcher and Writer to join our Digital Advice Content Team on a fixed term basis for 1 year. The role will focus on updating and maintenance of all relevant advice sections on the Scottish advice pages with service signposting at www.cas.org.uk/brexit to highlight services being provided by Citizens Advice Bureaux so that citizens can access the information and advice they need about Brexit. The post holder will liaise with colleagues in Citizens Advice England and Wales in relation to UK wide content development plans ensuring updates as required for Scottish client advice needs.

In addition to this, the post holder will also ensure we make use of Search Engine Optimisation and usability testing on Brexit related content and deliver website reporting focussed on actual utilisation data.

You'll bring a skill for writing great copy, a solid understanding of the current social security system, ability to interpret legislation and ideally an awareness of UX and digital publishing. Experience in policy and law in relation to Brexit would be highly desirable.
