Role

Are you passionate about youth participation and ensuring that LGBTQ+ young people in Scotland are given the opportunities and skills to speak truth to power? Can you work with trans and non-binary young people to help them shape an existing platform of work so that they are achieving their aims? Can you provide goal orientated support for young people? If so, we want to hear from you.

Join our vibrant team of staff and volunteers delivering high quality services supporting LGBTQ+ young people right across Scotland.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative person to oversee our Trans Rights Youth Commission and our work with Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs).

You will:

· Oversee the Trans Rights Youth Commission (TRYC), ensuring that Commissioners are supported in their role and that regular development days occur

· Provide support to our two Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs) and their work within the Scottish Youth Parliament, including attending sittings of parliament and working with the MSYPs on submitting motions

This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the forefront of youth participation within Scotland and make a lasting, and sometimes life-saving, impact for LGBTQ+ young people, as well as supporting them to make such impacts themselves.

We want to hear from you if you have:

· A strong foundation in participatory or youth work practice.

· A passion for supporting young people to achieve their potential and developing their leadership skills

· A close understanding of LGBTQ+ identities and the key issues facing LGBTQ+ young people, particularly trans and non-binary young people – or a keen willingness to learn this
