Help write women back into Scotland’s history — and our future.
At Protests and Suffragettes CIC, we’re building a Scotland where the stories of suffragettes and women changemakers aren’t hidden footnotes but vibrant, public, and everywhere — in schools, museums, murals, and on Wikipedia and the open web. Over the next three years, we’re scaling workshops, murals, creative commissions, and a national community that will reshape how women’s history is remembered, celebrated, and taught — ramping toward the 2028 Centenary of the Equal Franchise Act, which gave all women in the UK the right to vote.
We’re hiring two part-time roles in Argyll
We’re delighted to be recruiting for two part-time roles to support our growing social enterprise — both funded by InspirAlba, a charity supporting rural employability and creating opportunities for people facing barriers to work. These are supportive, skill-building roles, ideal for someone returning to work after a career break, looking to build confidence and experience, and excited by meaningful, community-centred work. Please note: you don’t need to have done everything listed in the job description to apply — we’re looking for the right person, not the “perfect CV”.

What you’ll be doing
This role supports the smooth day-to-day running of Protests and Suffragettes — and helps us communicate clearly, warmly, and consistently with our communities, supporters, and partners. You’ll help with:
- Admin support, including emails, documents, systems, and spreadsheets.
- Marketing and comms support, including social posts, newsletters, and Patreon copy.
- Website updates, including formatting and uploading text/images.
- Supporter/admin support for our membership and Patreon community.
This role could be a great fit if you
