Who we are:

Scripture Union Scotland is a national charity, with 140 staff and 2,500 volunteers. Our vision is to see every child and young person of Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus.

At the heart of our current strategy is a focus on growing SU Scotland’s ministry, especially in priority communities and with priority schools and young people, removing barriers and partnering with local churches.

Building on the experience and impact of Ferrywell in Edinburgh (ferrywell.org.uk) and Junction 12 in Glasgow (junction12.org.uk), a key focus for the next period is planting more local Christian youth projects in priority communities to share the love of Jesus with children, young people and their families.

The East End of Glasgow has record levels of deprivation and work has already begun in the Bridgeton, Dalmarnock and Parkhead areas, making links with Eastbank and St Mungo’s Academies and their associated primaries. We are also encouraged by local church support for this growing work.

Purpose

Reporting to our Local Youth Projects Development Coordinator, this new role will be key in developing and leading the work to establish a youth project within the Bridgeton area, linking with schools in the Eastbank and St Mungo’s Academy catchments.

Who we are looking for

To achieve this, we want to identify someone with a vibrant Christian faith who understands life for young people within a priority community. They should be able to build positive, trusting and supportive relationships and have previous proven experience of this type of ministry with children and young people.

For this post, it is important that you are committed to SU Scotland’s ethos, working principles and vision and can demonstrate this through your commitment and motivation. It is also an Occupational Requirement (Equality Act - part 1, schedule 9), that the post-holder is a committed Christian.
