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.

* 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.

About Us
Zero Tolerance is a Scottish charity working to end men’s violence against women by promoting gender equality and challenging attitudes which normalise violence and abuse. We are a values-led organisation and seek to improve the way we integrate feminism, equality, and diversity into our work. We ensure our HR policies and practices reflect our values (including enhanced parental leave, miscarriage and menopause policies and flexible working) and our salary framework is fair and competitive. We are committed to staff learning and development and have recently launched a paid reading week for all staff.
Zero Tolerance has a commitment to diversity and challenging all forms of inequality alongside gender inequality. We are open to as many different voices as there are experiences, but particularly welcome applications from Minority Ethnic, LGBT+, disabled, migrant, and other backgrounds currently underrepresented within the women’s sector.
Our aims
1. We will lead campaigning in Scotland to end all forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG) by raising public and political awareness of its cause and challenging gender inequality.
2. We will challenge and support key institutions to embed VAWG prevention in their work.
3. We will advance and share the evidence base on preventing VAWG.
4. We will make Zero Tolerance a place where feminist leadership happens.
What you’ll do
We are looking for a Support Officer to join our team to support Zero Tolerance’s work to promote gender equality and primary prevention of men’s violence in youth work, education and the early years.
This is a fixed term post to 31st March 2026.
You will support the development and delivery of the Zero Tolerance Under Pressure programme for youth workers and support the Children and Young People: Policy and Practice Officer to monitor current trends and concerns for youth workers in the area of violence against women and girls (VAWG), identifying key areas to address through Under Pressure training.
The successful candidate will organise training sessions and develop materials to support training and other sessions (e.g. workshops) with youth workers. You will develop and maintain effective working relationships with freelance trainers and partner organisations and represent Zero Tolerance at Children and Young People events as required. This is not a training role; the focus is on providing support for our children and young people work, and co-ordinating the delivery of Under Pressure by freelance trainers and other specialists.
What we need
The successful candidate will have experience of organising training or events and developing resources, with knowledge and understanding of violence against women and gender equality. You’ll be a skilled communicator with the ability to create accessible and engaging resources and present complex ideas to a variety of audiences.
