About Open Door Scotland

Open Door Scotland is a youth homelessness charity supporting young people aged 16–25 who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Many of the young people we work with are care experienced, facing poor mental health, social isolation, or significant barriers to education, training, and employment. The needs of the young people we

support are often complex, requiring consistent, high quality, and risk-aware operational leadership.

We provide housing-related support across a range of settings, alongside practical, emotional, and developmental support that helps young people stabilize their lives and move towards independence.

While we are proud of our history, our focus is firmly on the future. Demand is increasing, complexity is rising, and we are ambitious about growing our impact. This role is a key part of ensuring we are operationally-strong, inspection ready, and able to expand responsibly.

About Intercultural Youth Scotland
