About us
We are the national regulator and scrutiny body responsible for providing assurance and protection for people who experience care services, their families, carers and the wider public, as well as supporting delivery partners to improve the quality of care for people in Scotland. Our vision is that people across Scotland experience high quality care that meets their needs, rights and choices.
We are a scrutiny body that supports improvement. We inspect individual care services and we also work with other scrutiny bodies to inspect the social care and social work services people are experiencing in their local areas.
Our desire is to achieve an effective and balanced way of working, that enables us to meet organisational needs and achieve a work-life balance that promotes wellbeing and collaboration opportunities. We are moving towards an expectation that all staff will work collaboratively, within and across teams, in person, for approximately 40% of their working week.
About the role
We are looking to recruit a Senior Communications and Engagement Lead to deliver against the Digital Transformation communications and stakeholder engagement plan to inform, generate interest and enthusiasm about an ambitious, complex and critical digital transformation project in line with the Care Inspectorate’s corporate plan 2022-2025. The digital transformation project aims to replace inflexible legacy systems, that are based on now outdated technologies, with an updated platform and build upon our essential risk-led scrutiny model.
You will identify and build high quality relationships internally and with external organisations, and advise on innovative communication methods to engage with stakeholders and employees, while promoting work of the Digital Transformation Project.
You will be at the forefront of developing innovative content, ideas, and concepts to drive key communications and engagement activities for the digital transformation project.
You will work closely with colleagues to support significant cultural change, consolidate excellence in the Care Inspectorate’s activities and continue to invest in our competent, confident workforce in a way that puts collaboration at the core of our work.
You will be an articulate and positive communicator, both verbally and in written form, with the ability to engage, influence and lead the development of a wide range of key stakeholder relationships, both internally and externally.
