Youth Scotland, Scotland’s national charity for the support and delivery of community-based youth work, would
love you to come and join our dynamic team.
We are looking for an experienced worker who has direct experience of life in Scotland’s rural communities and great
skills in supporting youth engagement and participation.
Scotland already has a rich landscape of organisations which support young people to mobilise and have their voices
heard. The Rural Youth Action Network Project will not duplicate or dilute this work but will build upon this
work to provide opportunities for young people from Scotland’s rural communities to come together and share
their experiences, have their voices heard, shape decision-making about issues that impact their lives and
ensure that Government plans consider their interests and priorities.
This project is a partnership between Youth Scotland and Scottish Rural Action, funded by Scottish Government. This
project has been designed to work separately but in parallel to the existing Young Islanders Network (YIN) which
is also delivered by Youth Scotland, and will distinctly support rural young people and not duplicate existing
engagement with YIN stakeholders where practicable.
