Our activities currently engage with over 30,000 annual participations across a range of age groups and include a variety of opportunities which contribute to reductions in instances of youth crime and anti-social behaviour; improved health and wellbeing within young people; enhanced positive destinations whilst encouraging inclusivity through sport, physical activity and creative endeavour.
Role Description
This exciting full-time role will lead the development and delivery of our Denis Law’s Academy programme, working directly with young people from our DLLT communities across Aberdeen.

You will utilise both evidence-based and innovative approaches to support young people to overcome challenges, strengthen their sense of inclusion and belonging, and empower them to access opportunities that enable them to thrive.
