Are you enthusiastic about making a difference in young people’s lives?
Helm’s long-term vision is a Scotland where all young people dare to dream and can make those dreams a reality. Our
more immediate mission is to ensure that young people in Scotland have access to the education and training that

lead a youth focused organisation with authenticity and drive. The successful candidate will have significant
senior management experience in a relatively large organisation in an education, social work, youthwork
environment.
