MCS Dornoch Firth Information Officer

We have an exciting opportunity for an outgoing, target-driven person to share their passion for marine conservation as an ambassador for MCS at the Glenmorangie distillery in Tain, Ross-shire. 

Confident speaking with groups, you will deliver talks and presentations on the Dornoch Firth marine environment and the valuable partnership between MCS and Glenmorangie to visitors at the distillery.  Away from the distillery, you will also work to engage the local community in events and activities which promote the partnership’s initiatives, and encourage community interest and attendance at our Beachwatch events in September.

The ideal candidate will already have experience or the skills required for recruiting membership support, ideally in a face-to-face capacity or in a sales environment.  The role will involve some travel in the beautiful but rural area of Tain - it may be preferable for you to have  driving license, and regular access to a car.  This role will also require you to work flexibly, including attending some evening and weekend events.

Key Skills:

• Demonstrable customer service skills & excellent verbal communication abilities
• Confident approaching members of the public in order to promote the partnership and secure membership donations for MCS
• Able to effectively manage own workload and operate autonomously
• Self-motivated and with a flexible, creative approach to a diverse workload
• Able to work flexibly and sometimes out in the local area
