Do you want to help to improve how Scotland responds to children and young people who come into conflict with the law? Do you have a track record of delivering effective participation activity and working with key stakeholders? Are you approachable, courageous, optimistic, compassionate, innovative and determined? Then this new and exciting opportunity to work as a key part of CYCJ is for you.


As the Participation Adviser, you will split your time between supporting one of our Research Associates in the evaluation of the Scottish Child Interview Model (SCIM) through engaging with children, young people and families who have been part of this pilot in nine partnership areas, on behalf of the Scottish Government; and supporting the delivery of an ambitious participation strategy for CYCJ to help embed participation and the voice of lived experience across the youth justice sector.


You will have proven ability in engaging and building effective working relationships at all levels and a demonstrated ability to work autonomously.

You will be able to communicate effectively to engage with children and young people with experience of the child protection and/or care and justice systems to amplify their voice and support systems change.


You will be part of the participation team and work closely with CYCJ staff who will lead on the delivery of a wide range of projects and programmes.

You will be a self-starter who likes to be part of a team and who relishes challenges. You will require flexibility in your approach including travelling across Scotland and working outside of an office environment.

The post holder will report to the deputy director. Please note this is a full-time fixed term post for 12 months.


About CYCJ


CYCJ works towards ensuring that Scotland's approach to children and young people in conflict with the law is rights-respecting, contributing to better outcomes for our children, young people and communities.

Children and young people are at the heart of all our activity, although one of our key mechanism for change is by supporting policymakers and practitioners.

Formal interviews for this post will be held 16 August 2023.
