Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Anti-Racism at Young Scot

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and communities. This will help us to ensure that our staff team represents the young people in Scotland that we serve. We particularly welcome applications from Black people, people of colour, and disabled people – all of whom are currently under-represented at Young Scot

We're also working hard to become an explicitly Anti-Racist organisation by identifying what it is we do that contributes to structural racism. As part of this work, we've reviewed our recruitment processes and made several changes. You can read more about our important Inclusion and Anti-Racism work on our website.

If you need any support or have any questions, please email us, or call on 0131 313 2488 or email recruitment@young.scot.
