About EmilyTest

EmilyTest is a small Scottish charity working to tackle Gender Based Violence (GBV) in education. Funded by the Scottish Government and the National Lottery, we work with schools, colleges and universities to support the development of effective policies, procedures and practices in relation to GBV prevention, intervention and support.

Our aim is to ensure that every young person can live, work and study free from the harms and threats of GBV and, where harm does occur, that they receive safe, trauma-informed and responsible support.

You will support institutions to meet each of the 42 minimum standards within the Charter, developing customised plans and assisting them in their efforts towards achieving the Charter award.

Alongside this, you will support the EmilyTest Network - a collaborative forum that brings colleges and universities together to share learning, good practice and find collective solutions in tackling GBV in all its forms.

Through building strong, trusted relationships with Charter and Network institutions, you will provide efficient, effective and high-quality support.
