Charity registered in Scotland SC032662
The Scottish Youth Parliament represents Scotland’s young people. Our vision for Scotland is of a nation that actively listens to and values the meaningful participation of its children and young people. Our goal is to make this vision a reality, in order to ensure Scotland is the best place in the world to grow up.
We are a fundamentally rights-based organisation, and our mission, vision, and values are grounded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
SYP has a proud history of championing youth-led projects and campaigns that drive meaningful policy change. Our programmes and participation activities use a youth work ethos to support young people across Scotland to develop skills and experiences, discuss the issues that are important to them, and influence change.
Working within SYP’s youth-led structure, our Participation and Programmes Officer will work with young people and the Participation and Programmes team to plan, deliver, amplify, and evaluate our activities, in line with the organisation’s strategic objectives.
If you are passionate about amplifying young people’s voices and have the skills to support young people’s meaningful participation in decision-making, we would love to hear from you.
