Youth Scotland, Scotland’s national charity for the support and delivery of community-based youth work, would love you to come and join our team.

Youth Scotland’s Youth Awards recognise and accredit young people’s learning and achievement through community-based youth work, schools and a wide range of partner organisations.

Following a significant period of growth and development, including refreshed Youth Achievement Awards and investment in new digital systems and services, we are moving into the next phase of development. This new post will play an important role in consolidating these developments, supporting our Awards users and partners, and ensuring our systems and services continue to evolve in response to their needs.

We are looking for an Awards Development Worker (Systems and Services) who can build strong relationships with a wide range of Awards users and partners, provide high-quality support, and help us continue to improve and develop our services.

You will work with local authorities, national charities, schools, community-based youth groups and other Awards providers, helping organisations to use Youth Scotland Awards effectively and using their feedback and experience to inform future development. Alongside this, you will have a particular focus on our digital Awards systems, data and reporting, online resources and service improvement.

This role would suit someone who is confident working with people and partnerships, has strong digital and organisational skills, and enjoys finding practical ways to improve services and the experience of the people who use them. You will also share our commitment to recognising and celebrating young people’s achievements and helping ensure their learning and development is valued.

The closing date for applications is midnight, Monday 14th September

Interviews will be held on Wednesday 23rd September, Balfour House, Edinburgh
