Role

Help blind and partially sighted young people across Scotland have a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and organised Youth Engagement Coordinator to lead and grow Haggeye - RNIB Scotland's award-winning youth forum that gives young people with sight loss a voice. Haggeye provides a friendly and supportive environment which allows young people to raise awareness of what it's like to be blind or partially sighted in Scotland today and what's important to them.

This is a varied and rewarding role, combining youth engagement, project delivery and advocacy. You'll organise events and training, build relationships with youth organisations and partners, support volunteers and help young people take part in the Scottish Youth Parliament. Just as importantly, you'll create opportunities for Haggeye members to influence RNIB Scotland's priorities and services, ensuring young people's voices aren't simply heard but actively shape what we do.

The role will involve some evening and weekend working to support Haggeye meetings, events and Scottish Youth Parliament activities.

What you'll bring: 

• Experience of working with young people in both online and face-to-face settings 

• Knowledge of the support available to blind and partially sighted young people and their families 

• Experience of delivering projects, events and engagement activities 

• A collaborative approach and confidence building relationships with young people and partners 

• Strong organisational and communication skills 

If you want to join us and help empower the next generation of blind and partially sighted young people to influence change and shape their future we would be delighted to hear from you.
