The Young Women’s Movement is Scotland’s national organisation for young women and girls’ leadership and rights.

Young women are at the heart of everything we do and we work collectively to equip with them the resources, networks and platforms to lead meaningful change and create a more equal society. Every time we say young women, we mean all self-identifying young women and girls.
We exist because we believe in a society where young women and girls’ needs and rights are fully met. We will continue to strive until that society is secured.

To help us achieve this, the Research & Participation Worker role has been created to:

• Extend our reach and amplify the voices of young women and girls through our participatory research
• Deliver our participatory research workshops and training with and for young women across Scotland
• Create safe spaces for young women to engage and learn, encouraging supportive and meaningful relationships to develop

The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 6th May.

Interviews will take place in-person at The Melting Pot in Edinburgh on Thursday 16th May. Due to staff capacity and tight timescales interview dates are fixed and we are unable to accommodate requests for alternative interview dates.

If you would like to discuss any accessibility requirements for the recruitment process or the role, please contact our Research & Policy Lead, Dr Rebecca Mason at rebecca@youngwomenscot.org and we will be happy to discuss.
