About us
We are Young Scot, Scotland’s national youth information and citizenship agency. We’re a constant in the lives of young people, woven into the very fabric of growing up in Scotland. We’ve been delivering direct services for over 40 years to ensure that all young people in Scotland are connected to information, opportunities and experiences that support them to live happy and fulfilling lives.
Young Scot is a nationally trusted brand with deep reach, strong partnerships and unique assets - including data, insight, participation expertise and access to young people across Scotland. More than 880,000 young people have a Young Scot National Entitlement Card, with more than 160,000 of them signed up as Young Scot members.

The role
Young Scot is seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial and delivery-focused leader to help shape and drive a step-change in how we generate income and build partnerships.
This is a pivotal role at a defining moment for the organisation with the recent appointment of a new CEO, as well launching a new organisational strategic vision. As we evolve our operating model and ambitions, you will lead the development of a more diverse, sustainable and innovative income portfolio - ensuring we can continue to deliver meaningful impact for young people aged 11–26 across Scotland.
Working closely with the CEO and senior leadership team (SLT), you will design and implement a new income generation strategy, unlocking opportunities across corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, public sector funding and earned income streams. You will take an “intrapreneurial” approach - building new propositions, testing ideas and embedding a culture where income generation is seen as a shared organisational priority.
This role offers significant autonomy, creativity and influence. You will be equally comfortable setting strategic direction and personally leading high-value relationships, as you are enabling written bids and researching new partnerships.
Why this role matters

Strengthen our financial resilience and long-term sustainability
Unlock new forms of value and social income generation
Expand our influence across sectors and policy areas

We are Euan’s Guide, the award-winning disabled access charity making it easier for disabled people to find places to go. At the heart of the charity is our disabled access review website – euansguide.com – where disabled people and their friends, families and carers can find and share disabled access information.
We also run the UK’s largest and longest-running Access Survey, and our Red Cord Card campaign has made tens of thousands of accessible toilets across the UK safer for disabled people.
We are an ambitious charity with a strong focus on technology, which means Euan’s Guide sits in a unique position – combining the pace and innovation of a tech start-up with the values and purpose of a charity. There is no ‘typical day’!

Volunteering is at the core of everything we do. We are now looking for a Volunteer Lead to help us take our volunteering programme to the next level.

You will work closely with our two existing Volunteer Co-ordinators and across the wider Euan’s Guide team, including our Comms, Tech and Impact colleagues. You will report to our CEO.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a real and lasting difference to how disabled people across Scotland can access the information they need to live independently and participate fully in society.
This is a new role and we have funding for one full-time position, fixed term until the end of March 2027. The role is made possible by funding from The Scottish Government’s Improving Access Fund
