This pivotal role helps promote and safeguard children’s rights in accordance with the duties of the office as set out in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2003. Reporting to the Head of Legal, our Solicitors are responsible for the lawful and effective discharge of the Commissioner’s powers and duties.

As a key member of staff, your principal role will be to exercise the Commissioner’s new strategic litigation power brought in by the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024.

We have already begun using those powers to deliver real impact on issues such as restrain in mental health settings, best interests in eviction actions, access to justice in the tribunal system, and children’s rights in criminal law proceedings.

The Commissioner is uniquely placed to play a leading role, taking the cases no one else can. You will join us as we seek to take the next step, using our litigation powers creatively and strategically to address children’s rights issues across a range of areas of law,

Working as part of the Legal Team, you will be responsible for ensuring the office achieves maximum strategic impact by undertaking swift and robust, human rights analysis of cases and issues, providing advice, drafting submissions, instructing agents and counsel, and directly legally representing the Commissioner where appropriate.

Proposals for secondments (a minimum of two years) are very welcome and will be considered on their merits.

Overview of the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland

In 2003 the Scottish Parliament wanted to “make a real difference by creating an independent, high profile and influential post” of Children and Young People’s Commissioner with a responsibility to promote and safeguard the rights of everyone under 18 in Scotland or up to 21 if the young person is in care or has care experience.

Children and young people don’t have the same economic or political power as adults.

Adult systems aren’t designed around children’s needs and when things go wrong it’s much harder for them to get justice. They need a champion who is an independent person able to challenge those in power.

The role of Commissioner must do that, whilst bringing together different parts of the political and institutional systems and society in the best interests of the child. As well as being a champion for rights, a key part of the job is to work with people who make decisions that affect children and young people’s lives so that they deliver on their promises – for example within education, healthcare, housing and justice.

Decision makers must understand their rights obligations and include and listen effectively to children and young people in order to do their jobs properly.

Who we are

The Commissioner for Children and Young People Scotland is an independent statutory public body. The office has a current budget of £1.76 million and a multidisciplinary team of 18 staff based in an office in Edinburgh but working across Scotland. We promote and safeguard the human rights of everyone in Scotland up to 18 or up to 21 years old if the young person has care experience. Scotland’s children and young people have told us that they need fierce champions for their human rights: people who share our values of bravery, independence, leadership, participation, and respect.

• Promoting best practice by service providers
• Promoting, commissioning, undertaking and publishing research to promote better implementation of children’s human rights

In doing this, the Commissioner must have regard to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and act in a way that encourages equal opportunities.

We must also encourage the involvement of children and young people in the work of the office and consult relevant organisations working with, and for children and young people, placing a particular emphasis on those who are less likely to be included or listened to, and those whose rights are most at risk.

Why join us?

• 30 days annual leave plus 11.5 observed public holidays

• Flexible working policies

• Enhanced wellbeing initiatives including our Healthy Living Allowance and access to our Employee Assistance Programme offering shopping discounts, advice and counselling services.

The key strategic issues impacting on this post will be:
