About Intercultural Youth Scotland

Intercultural Youth Scotland (IYS) was founded in 2019 in response to the need for safe spaces where young people could connect, share experiences, and drive meaningful change. Every programme and service we offer has been shaped directly by the voices of the young people we support. What began with a focus on Youth Work has grown to include Education, Advocacy, Employability, and a pioneering Mental Health Service, each designed with the lived experiences of Scotland’s young Black people and young People of Colour at its core.

We are dedicated to amplifying youth voices, challenging systemic racism, and creating spaces where young people feel safe, heard, and empowered.

Our approach is not about ticking boxes - it’s about real change. We don’t do surface-level diversity initiatives. We work directly with young people to dismantle barriers in education, employment, policy, and youth work.

Our work is driven by lived experience, ensuring that the voices of young people not just included but are leading the conversation.

The Role

We are seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Trustees to provide strategic oversight and ensure the voices of BPOC young people remain at the heart of everything we do.

We are particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Financial Oversight/Accountancy: Supporting our long-term sustainability.

• Public Policy & Advocacy: Helping us navigate the Scottish political landscape.

• Lived Experience: We strongly encourage young BPOC leaders and those with lived experience of the barriers our community faces to apply.

However, we welcome interest from people of all backgrounds. Different perspectives strengthen our governance, and your experience may be exactly what we need.

Your Commitment

• Quarterly Board meetings (held in Edinburgh/Hybrid).

• Occasional participation in sub-committees or strategic planning days.

• A commitment to the principles of anti-racism and youth empowerment.

We’re looking for people to join our team at the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission. We help resolve issues raised by the public about work carried out by Scottish lawyers.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we’re open on both professional and work experience. We want to build a diverse team, so would positively encourage applications from all candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion, pregnancy or maternity.

We help hundreds of people a year. Our team reach decisions which make a difference to people’s lives. In some cases we award compensation and explain why the level of service fell short. In others our independent review of the situation shows the lawyer did all they could, giving the client and lawyer confidence the concerns have been addressed.

We’re a small team of around 65 staff, which makes for a close, friendly team to be a part of. We deliver serious work, but we also have a great deal of fun as a team. It also means there are great opportunities to get involved in different aspects of what we do, from driving improvements in our customer service, to running sprints to test new ways of working. We are always improving and innovating. You’ll be involved in designing and testing new approaches, and will move between teams and different types of work to help build knowledge and ensure we can deliver our objectives.

Learning and development is important to us as 70% of our operational management team got their roles through internal promotion. You’ll receive training and coaching to help you within your role. You’ll also have significant flexibility and personal discretion in terms of times and locations of work, and in how to manage your own work load.

We are looking for people with experience in complaints, customer service, legal or regulatory roles, but we don’t have a fixed idea. People from very different backgrounds have excelled in these roles. We want you to have the chance to explain to us how you might help us deliver our role.

Two skill sets are important to us, and you will want to make your previous experience clear in your application. You might be experienced in both or, if only experienced in one, be willing to learn and develop in the other:

Resolution and customer service – we need to talk to the public and lawyers, understand their views and concerns, and help bring these views together to get an agreed solution without a formal investigation or decision. You’ll keep people updated, help them understand the process, and understand their perspective.

Investigation and decisions – you’ll be able to analyse complex information and facts, identify key issues, clearly reason as to whether standards are met or not, and be confident in suggesting a fair outcome.

In both you’ll need clear and concise written English, and care about the quality of your work. You’ll also need to be open to working with peers and managers collaboratively to improve the quality of communication, reasoning and decisions.

If you already work in a statutory complaints process you’ll recognise the key stages of our process as triage, informal resolution, mediation, investigation, and formal adjudication. Experience in this is helpful, and you’ll want to flag it in your application, but it is not essential if you can tell us other ways your experience and skills match the role.

This is a hybrid role. We require that you attend our Edinburgh office a minimum of one-third of your working time a quarter (we estimate around 2 days per week for a full-time colleague). There may also be some specific events that you will need to attend in person. Please note your induction will include more office days in the beginning to help you settle into SLCC, learn about the role and to provide the most support. We also offer flexible working hours that means when you are working from home you can work anytime between 6am and 10pm and 7am to 7pm in the office.

You’ll also have 42 days paid holiday, including public holidays (pro-rata for less than 35 hours a week). We also offer a Group Self Invested Personal Pension, company sick pay scheme, life assurance, cycle to work scheme, travel loan scheme, volunteer days and a confidential employee assistance programme offering free advice and support across a range of work and personal issues.

We also pride ourselves on being an enjoyable place to work, with a supportive environment, opportunities for self-development, staff charity events and the chance to socialise. We have a staff-led Wellbeing and Inclusion Group. In our last staff survey 97% said they have a good working relationship with their colleagues.

We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change.
