Engagement Manager Highland-wide at any Council or NHS location, with the option of blending home working Fixed term contract: Immediate Start preferred Community Engagement Coordinator Location: Hybrid – Home and Fixed Office Base Fixed Term for 6 Months months with option for extension The Highland Council and NHS Highland are jointly reviewing the model under which health and social care services for adults and children are planned and delivered across the region. The purpose of this process is to hear from the people it affects, staff, communities and partners, before any recommendation is reached. This is a role for someone who is genuinely at home in a room full of people whether that room is a community hall in Tongue, a staff forum in Inverness, or a partnership meeting involving elected members, trade union representatives and third sector colleagues. Staff across Highland Council and NHS Highland come from very different professional backgrounds, from community nurses in remote practices to social work teams in children’s services to administrative staff in busy hubs and you will know how to reach people where they are, in ways that feel relevant to them. Alongside staff engagement, you will coordinate a community engagement programme that genuinely reflects the breadth of Highland. That means thinking carefully about how to reach people in dispersed rural communities as well as towns, how to make engagement accessible to people who are less likely to come forward, and how to ensure that what communities tell us is treated with the seriousness it deserves. Our Engagement Hub provides an important ongoing channel for people to share their views digitally, and you will work with that platform as part of a broader engagement mix that includes in-person events and targeted approaches for under-represented groups. You will produce reports for senior officers and governance groups, and you will be confident defending your analysis and recommendations in a senior setting. If you thrive in complex, multi-stakeholder environments, care deeply about the quality of public engagement, and want to do work that has a genuine and lasting impact on communities across Highland, we would very much like to hear from you.
