Social Value Advisor

The Social Value Advisor will lead the development and delivery of social value strategies across various civil engineering frameworks in Scotland (e.g., transport, water, or energy infrastructure). You will ensure the contractor delivers on its "community benefits" promises, such as local hiring, spend with Scottish SMEs, and environmental stewardship.

Responsibilities:

• Tender Support: Collaborate with bid teams to write compelling social value propositions for Scottish public sector clients (e.g., Transport Scotland, Scottish Water, SSE).
• Action Planning: Create bespoke Social Value Delivery Plans for specific projects, from the Highlands to the Central Belt.
• Local Employment: Partner with bodies like Skills Development Scotland (SDS) and local employability hubs to create jobs for "priority groups" (care leavers, long-term unemployed, etc.).
• Supply Chain Diversity: Identify and onboard Scottish SMEs and Social Enterprises to ensure project spend remains within the local economy.
• Education Outreach: Coordinate STEM engagement sessions with local schools and colleges to promote careers in civil engineering.
• Data Management: Use industry tools (such as Social Value Portal or Thrive) to track the "Social Value Bank" or "National TOMs" (Themes, Outcomes, and Measures).

Compliance: Ensure all activities align with the Scottish Government's National Performance Framework.
