  • Run training sessions for parents on topics such as starting a walking or bike bus, facilitating an air pollution workshop and developing community organising skills.
  • Build a pool of volunteers able to deliver air pollution workshops in schools by training volunteers in workshop facilitation and workshop content, and arranging sessions with participating schools.
  • Support the delivery of parent-to-parent air pollution workshops within schools.
  • Promote Parents for Future Scotland among parents and support community members to become involved in the organisation.
  • Facilitate peer-to-peer support and knowledge-sharing between schemes across different schools.

What we offer

  • A self-employed contract for 4 days per week during school term time, running from 1 December 2026 until 30 June 2027.
  • A day rate of £150 per day. The total contract value will depend on the number of agreed working days available during the contract period.
