Are you aged 16 to 30 and have lived experience of disability?
Join us as a Peer Researcher!
ILF Scotland and Social Value Lab are looking for eight young disabled people to join a peer research team exploring experiences of the Transition Fund. Peer Researchers will help shape questions, speak to other young people about their experiences, and help make sense of the data we collect. No previous research experience is needed and full training and support will be provided.
You don’t need to have received a grant from the Transition Fund – or meet its eligibility criteria – to apply and take part.
The role is flexible and designed around people’s needs and other commitments, with most activities able to take place online. You will join us for seven days in total between June and October 2026. Each researcher will receive £180 per day, with travel, access costs, childcare, and other reasonable expenses covered.
To express interest, contact Anna at anna@socialvaluelab.org.uk by 5pm on Monday 8th June 2026. You can send a short informal email explaining a little about yourself and why you are interested or get in touch to arrange an informal conversation.
