Sistema Scotland’s vision is to improve lives and strengthen communities. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change.

You will also provide leadership and support for the Big Noise Douglas Administration and Support Worker teams, to enable them to deliver the best outcomes for the children, young people and community members in the programme.

A skilled project manager, you will have experience of working with communities and volunteers, and excellent communication skills with children and adults. With a high level of IT skills, you will also have experience and success in taking on leadership roles and responsibilities, along with the belief in the benefits that a social programme such as Big Noise / Sistema Scotland can have.
