Delivery of physical activity and games sessions forms a key part of our project and is a great opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of young people.

The other element of B:activ is young volunteer development and is about getting young people more involved in their local community.

You will be responsible for delivering key parts of the B:activ project and supporting Youth 1st member groups. Using a youth work approach, you will help young people build their confidence and encourage them to be more active in their communities.

• Identify and actively pursue media opportunities, monitor the news and media, and keep up to date with Early Years Scotland developments and potential stories.
• Support the website, social media platforms and other e-marketing communications.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to develop and produce promotional materials, and create and implement marketing campaigns both internally and externally.
