Standing Tall Scotland are looking for four Artist Facilitators to deliver workshops with young people who have arrived in Scotland separated from a parent or guardian and are seeking asylum.

They work in collaboration with Guardianship Scotland, a specialist statutory service who support unaccompanied young people through the asylum process.

Their programme of work currently includes:
– twice monthly creative Group Nights in Glasgow led by professional artists, where young people explore a range of art forms;
– special projects where young people collaborate with a professional artist to explore a particular art form in more detail;
– trips to performances, exhibitions, and events;
– celebrations marking significant cultural events throughout the year;
– an annual residential.

They have a team of freelance Artist Facilitators from different creative disciplines who work in rotation to lead our twice monthly Group Nights. Two artists co-deliver each workshop, planning, facilitating and evaluating the sessions together.

Group Night takes place 6pm-8pm on the second and last Wednesday of every month, so availability on a Wednesday evening is essential. This role is offered on a freelance, self-employed basis. Artist Facilitators are paid a fee of £157.15 per workshop, which covers planning and delivery.

They are particularly interested in hearing from artists who specialise in music, dance/movement, and/or drama, but artists from all disciplines are welcome to apply.

All Artist Facilitators will need to be able to demonstrate their ability to work in a way that promotes the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. They have a responsibility to keep the young people they work with safe and do everything in their power to ensure they are protected in all of the activities.
