Strategic Communication and Policy Advisor

We’re looking for a confident communicator who can think strategically, write clearly, and spot stories that matter.

As Strategic Communication and Policy Advisor, you’ll lead on communications that shape how Ayrshire College is seen by key stakeholders. That includes government, media, businesses, students, and staff. You’ll work closely with the Marketing and Communications team, Senior Leadership and colleagues across the College to deliver messages that land and stories that connect.

It’s a varied and rewarding role, combining big-picture thinking with day-to-day delivery. You’ll have the chance to shape how the role develops, working with a collaborative team and with space to take ownership and influence how we communicate.

You’ll play a key part in positioning the College as a trusted voice in skills, education, and economic growth.
