This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding Scotland. We are leading charity for girls and young women in Scotland.

The main purpose of this role is to provide administrative support to the membership development and growth team. The post holder will be a key part of the team, helping to ensure the successful delivery of our development projects and grant-giving programmes as well as providing consistent, high-quality advice and customer service. In doing so, they will help to ensure volunteers across Scotland get the support they need to deliver amazing opportunities for girls and young women.

WorkingRite seeks to stop the cycle of deprivation and poverty that occur in so many communities across Scotland. We do this through our award-winning, youth employability programme, which sees practical work skills coupled with personal development, strengthened through a mentored work placement with a small, local business of the young person’s choice.

Our flexible, person-centred programme of training, support and work placements puts the young person at the heart of their future, helping those 15 – 24 years old who are furthest from the job market, to gain real skills and a foothold on the employability ladder. We have been operating as a charity since 2011 and in that time have supported over 3,500 young people into a positive destination. We currently operate programmes in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Argyll & Bute, Aberdeen and East Ayrshire.

WorkingRite have recently secured significant investment that will see us grow our work across the country. We have also recently appointed a new CEO who has a vision to see us increase our work in the 5 local authorities we already work in and expand into new areas of Scotland where the needs of young people are greatest.
