Your new opportunity

Moray Children's Rights Service advocates for children, young people, parents and carers-ensuring their voices are heard, respected, and central to the support they receive.

This is a meaningful opportunity to join a team dedicated to championing the rights and experiences of young people and their families through informed, rights-based practice.
