Alzheimer Scotland has an exciting opportunity for a skilled, committed, creative person to take the lead role in the creation and development of a Youth Action Network within Alzheimer Scotland, harnessing and building on the interest in our campaigning and activism from young people across Scotland.

The launch of this initiative is an invitation to young people across Scotland to join us, so regular travel throughout Scotland will be required.
