Six-month paid Social media & Communications Intern position

The Galloway Glens Scheme aims to ‘connect people to their heritage’, while giving a boost to the local economy and supporting sustainable communities. A key strand of these efforts is to support young people of working age that are seeking employment, allowing them to remain in the region.

The Galloway Glens has therefore launched a programme that supports paid internships within the Galloway Glens area. Last week saw the recruitment of the first intern with the Galloway Fisheries Trust, with Abbie Nye taking up her role improving habitats in the Black Water of Dee. The second position is now being advertised, seeking applicants for a job-share internship in Social Media and Communications with two local charities: The Better Lives Partnership and the Castle Douglas Development Forum.

The Intern will work to:

  • Create or update the social media and communications strategy for both the Better Lives Partnership and the Castle Douglas Development Forum

  • Create content for the organisations’ social media and digital platforms

  • Increase the reach of the organisations into new audiences

  • Other administrative duties as required.
