About Us
Zero Tolerance is a Scottish charity working to end men’s violence against women by promoting gender equality and challenging attitudes which normalise violence and abuse. We are a values-led organisation and seek to improve the way we integrate feminism, equality, and diversity into our work. We ensure our HR policies and practices reflect our values (including enhanced parental leave, miscarriage and menopause policies and flexible working) and our salary framework is fair and competitive. We are committed to staff learning and development and have recently launched a paid reading week for all staff.
Zero Tolerance has a commitment to diversity and challenging all forms of inequality alongside gender inequality. We are open to as many different voices as there are experiences, but particularly welcome applications from Minority Ethnic, LGBT+, disabled, migrant, and other backgrounds currently underrepresented within the women’s sector.
Our aims
1. We will lead campaigning in Scotland to end all forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG) by raising public and political awareness of its cause and challenging gender inequality.
2. We will challenge and support key institutions to embed VAWG prevention in their work.
3. We will advance and share the evidence base on preventing VAWG.
4. We will make Zero Tolerance a place where feminist leadership happens.

Who we are:
Scripture Union Scotland is a national charity, with 120 staff and 2,200 volunteers. Our vision is to see every child and young person of Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus.
Our Ministry at the Margins strategy seeks to develop ministry with young people in some of Scotland’s poorest communities in the form of local youth projects. Initially our focus is on Glasgow and Merkinch, a priority community in Inverness as well as considering possible locations in other parts of Scotland. These projects will be rooted in Christian faith and values where young people will be valued, supported and enabled to make healthy and supportive choices.
Building on some initial research undertaken by a consultancy agency, we are seeking someone who will initially be responsible for developing opportunities in priority communities within the city of Glasgow. We want to build a realistic picture of these communities, mapping ongoing work with children and young people by churches and both Christian and secular agencies as well as considering the potential for a ‘hub’, bringing local Christians together, to be created. The outcome of this will be a clear recommendation of where SU Scotland should invest in establishing a local youth project(s).
Purpose:
Reporting to the Director of Development and Holidays, the Local Youth Projects Development Coordinator will take this project to the next stage: mapping and meeting with stakeholders in an initial 2-3 communities leading to a next steps proposal to grow a Local Youth Project in at least two of those areas.
Who we are looking for:
You will have experience of working with young people in priority areas and an understanding of issues affecting them. You will have strong relational skills, being able to create and establish networks with a broad range of people. It is essential that you have strong communication and presentation skills in order to deliver in a variety of settings (churches, voluntary organisations, 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.
