We’re looking for a creative, organised Copywriter to join Scotland’s largest in-house Marketing department at our Head Office in Hillington, Glasgow.

If you have a sincere passion for the written word, and the ability to turn everyday topics into captivating copy, this is the role for you.
Using your creative mind and incredible attention to detail, you’ll make sure copy is always accurate, crystal clear, easy to read and fits our tone of voice. And as well as being able to think of the ideal idiom and spot a typo in the blink of an eye, you’ll also be adaptable and happy to liaise with multiple stakeholders.
