This is an exciting time for RCET as we embark on a new 5 year Strategic Plan which will see us develop and grow our services. To support our mission, we are looking for an experienced Youth Participation Manager who will join a small but highly motivated team committed to making a real difference to the lives of Armed Forces Children and Young People in Scotland.
RCET is Scotland’s Armed Forces Children’s Charity. Most Armed Forces families are lucky enough never to need our help, but for children from families who are struggling to make ends meet, living with ill health and disability, or experiencing difficulties at school, we provide a lifeline of support. In addition, we operate a highly successful and well-respected Education Programme in Scotland working with schools, local authorities, Armed Forces charities and the military.
Your key responsibilities will be to develop, operate and manage an Armed Forces Children and Young People’s Participation Project across Scotland. You will develop inclusive systems and processes that ensure AFC&YP are empowered and are actively involved in the decision-making processes that affect them.
