Youth Participation Worker East Scotland - Forces Children Scotland
Created: 03/03/2025
Forces Children Scotland supports children and young people from serving, reservist and veteran families across Scotland to realise their potential and thrive. They work with children and young people to co-produce services and projects to overcome their unique challenges to mental health and wellbeing, education and learning and important transitions.
About Forces Children Scotland
They are committed to taking a children’s rights-based approach to all aspects of their work from planning to service delivery. They strive to ensure their work is grounded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Engaging in co-production with children and young people can help ensure their right to participate in matters affecting them is meaningfully upheld and implemented.
Purpose of Job
