Current opportunities
Board of Directors: Director
- We operate a hybrid way of working and are interested in attracted directors from across Scotland. However, there will be some meetings in Edinburgh which is the office base of Children in Scotland.

- Voluntary position, but reasonable expenses will be covered
Children in Scotland is recruiting new directors. It is an exciting time to lead a children’s charity, not least because of the recent incorporation of UNCRC into Scots law. If you are passionate about children’s rights and would like to play an active role in making Scotland a better place for all children and young people, why not think about joining us in this essential role.
