This is an exciting opportunity to join the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) in a role that will lead all of SYP’s political, policy, and campaign work.
SYP has a proud history of delivering youth-led campaigns that deliver meaningful policy change. Our campaigns for Votes at 16, Equal Marriage, and the incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into domestic law, to name only a few, have improved the lives of young people across Scotland.
SYP’s political profile and impact have never been higher. Our new Head of Policy and Public Affairs will drive forward all of our political work and ensure that we deliver even more of the changes to policy and legislation that young people expect of us.
