East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid (EDWA) is looking for a passionate and skilled individual to lead our early intervention and prevention work with young people aged 11-18. This vital role aims to prevent domestic abuse by promoting healthy relationships and empowering young people to challenge harmful behaviours.

As a Children and Young Person's Prevention Worker, you will design and deliver educational workshops across schools and community settings in East Dunbartonshire. These sessions will address key topics such as healthy relationships, emotional well-being, and challenging misogynistic behaviours. You’ll also collaborate with schools and partner agencies to develop tailored interventions that inspire change and build resilience in young people.

The role involves developing creative resources, engaging with diverse audiences, and keeping on top of emerging trends like the influence of online media. You’ll provide post-session support by signposting further resources or referrals where needed and ensure robust monitoring and reporting to demonstrate the impact of the work.
- Experience in delivering engaging educational workshops tailored for young people in schools or community settings.
- An understanding of domestic abuse and gender-based violence, including how social norms and online influences contribute to harmful behaviours.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills to connect with young people, professionals, and partner organisations.
- A deep awareness of teenage culture, social media platforms, and emerging trends—including the language young people use, key influencers, and digital spaces. The ability to incorporate this knowledge into workshops in a relatable and impactful way is essential.
- Strong organisational and IT skills, with the ability to create resources, track progress, and report on impact.
- A commitment to feminist principles and gender equality

The role is based in Bishopbriggs but will involve work across East Dunbartonshire, particularly in schools. Attendance will be required at weekly team meetings in our main office in Kirkintilloch to fulfil collective management responsibilities. Flexibility and the ability to travel throughout the area are essential.
