Pay: £13.50 per hour
Closing date: Fri 21 Feb 2025: 11pm

Are you creative, aged 16-30, and living in Scotland? Work with Creative Scotland and Moniack Mhor to shape their new youth-led fund.

What will you be doing?
You will be a member of a decision making group who will shape and deliver a Creative Scotland fund designed to boost the creativity of isolated young people.

– Start with a one-week residential with training, creative workshops, and a chance to get to know your fellow group members.
– Work with Moniack Mhor and Creative Scotland to decide what direction the funding should go in and how it is communicated.
– From April – December 2025, attend regular meetings online to assess applications to the fund once up and running and review progress.

No experience needed. You will be supported by the team at Moniack Mhor throughout the whole project.

Who will the fund be for?
This fund will support isolated and marginalised people aged 8-30 in their creative practice.

Who are we? 
Moniack Mhor is a beautiful creative writing retreat centre, in the hills above Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland. They work with people across Scotland and develop their creative lives.

Creative Scotland is the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries across all parts of Scotland on behalf of everyone who lives, works or visits here.

Hours will be flexible and you’d probably need to be able to work a few hours per month. You will be reimbursed for your time in a way that works for you, this might be bank transfers, vouchers etc. The rate of pay is £13.50 per hour.

Geography isn’t an issue, as you can work remotely and when you come to Moniack Mhor for a residential, your travel expenses will be covered.

What’s next?
– Send a brief email saying “I’m interested” to youthfund@moniackmhor.org.uk by 21 February 2025.
– then there will be a chat as soon you have registered interest in joining the group.
– The group will be appointed by 3 March 2025.
