Help blind and partially sighted young people across Scotland have a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and organised Youth Engagement Coordinator to lead and grow Haggeye - RNIB Scotland's award-winning youth forum that gives young people with sight loss a voice. Haggeye provides a friendly and supportive environment which allows young people to raise awareness of what it's like to be blind or partially sighted in Scotland today and what's important to them.

This is a varied and rewarding role, combining youth engagement, project delivery and advocacy. You'll organise events and training, build relationships with youth organisations and partners, support volunteers and help young people take part in the Scottish Youth Parliament. Just as importantly, you'll create opportunities for Haggeye members to influence RNIB Scotland's priorities and services, ensuring young people's voices aren't simply heard but actively shape what we do.

The role will involve some evening and weekend working to support Haggeye meetings, events and Scottish Youth Parliament activities.

What you'll bring:

• Experience of working with young people in both online and face-to-face settings

• Knowledge of the support available to blind and partially sighted young people and their families

• Experience of delivering projects, events and engagement activities

• A collaborative approach and confidence building relationships with young people and partners

• Strong organisational and communication skills

If you want to join us and help empower the next generation of blind and partially sighted young people to influence change and shape their future we would be delighted to hear from you.

About us

We make sure people living with MS are at the centre of everything we do and it’s this commitment that unites us across the UK.

Our strategy is based on what people affected by MS have told us is important to them. It gives us a clear and determined focus.

Our work is based on the hopes and aspirations of our MS community. Together we campaign at all levels, fund ground-breaking research and provide award winning support and information.

About this job

Can you inspire people, build partnerships and create communities that help people living with MS thrive?

We're looking for someone who believes that peer support, movement and community can transform lives.

Thanks to funding from the Movement for Health Grant Scheme, we're creating an exciting new fixed-term role to develop the MS Warrior Alumni Club. Building on the success of the 12-week MS Warrior programme, you'll help create opportunities for people to remain active, connected and supported long after the programme ends through local activities, online communities and volunteer-led peer support.

Working alongside volunteers, people living with MS, healthcare professionals and community partners, you'll create opportunities that encourage ongoing physical activity, wellbeing and peer support across Scotland.

A key part of the role will be recruiting, supporting and developing a network of MS Warrior Alumni Champions. Using their own lived experience, these volunteers will encourage others to build confidence, overcome barriers to physical activity and become part of a supportive, community-led network.

You'll also develop partnerships with leisure providers, community organisations and healthcare professionals, creating more inclusive opportunities for people living with MS to be active in their local communities.

This is an opportunity to shape an innovative model that has the potential to influence how community-based physical activity and peer support are delivered for people living with MS across Scotland.

If you're passionate about community development, partnership working and helping people live well with MS, we'd love to hear from you.
