As Senior Mediator you will carry a mediation caseload and provide guidance and supervision to our team of sessional mediators and help us continue to promote and develop Resolve as a service. When required you will recruit, train and mentor new sessional mediators.

As required you will support Senior Officer with day-to-day case management to scope out incoming referrals and allocate to the mediators, liaise with parents/carers and local authority representatives, and ensure that all data trackers are kept up to date.

About Intercultural Youth Scotland

Intercultural Youth Scotland (IYS) was founded in 2019 in response to the need for safe spaces where young people could connect, share experiences, and drive meaningful change. Every programme and service we offer has been shaped directly by the voices of the young people we support. What began with a focus on Youth Work has grown to include Education, Advocacy, Employability, and a pioneering Mental Health Service, each designed with the lived experiences of Scotland’s young Black people and young People of Colour at its core.

We are dedicated to amplifying youth voices, challenging systemic racism, and creating spaces where young people feel safe, heard, and empowered.

Our approach is not about ticking boxes - it’s about real change. We don’t do surface-level diversity initiatives. We work directly with young people to dismantle barriers in education, employment, policy, and youth work.

Our work is driven by lived experience, ensuring that the voices of young people not just included but are leading the conversation.

The Role

We are seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Trustees to provide strategic oversight and ensure the voices of BPOC young people remain at the heart of everything we do.

We are particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Financial Oversight/Accountancy: Supporting our long-term sustainability.

• Public Policy & Advocacy: Helping us navigate the Scottish political landscape.

• Lived Experience: We strongly encourage young BPOC leaders and those with lived experience of the barriers our community faces to apply.

However, we welcome interest from people of all backgrounds. Different perspectives strengthen our governance, and your experience may be exactly what we need.

Your Commitment

• Quarterly Board meetings (held in Edinburgh/Hybrid).

• Occasional participation in sub-committees or strategic planning days.

• A commitment to the principles of anti-racism and youth empowerment.
