Job Scott was born on October 18, 1751 in Providence, Rhode Island, United States, the son of John and Lydia (Comstock) Scott.
As early as 1774 Scott was conducting a school in Providence for Friends' children, and in 1778 he took charge of a school at Smithfield, Rhode Island, established by the local Monthly Meeting of Friends. In 1783 he removed with his family to Glocester, Rhode Island, where he apparently practised medicine for a time in a non-professional way.
Little is known of his activities after his removal to Glocester, however, save those connected with his religious work. In 1784 he went on a preaching pilgrimage to Quaker settlements in Vermont and New York, and in 1786 he spent six months in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Three years later he started on a visitation of Friends' meetings that led him along the Atlantic seaboard as far south as Georgia. Of this journey he wrote in his journal: "I was out on this exercising journey a year and about fifteen days, and travelled, by computation, about five thousand three hundred miles".
His last religious journey began when he set sail from Boston in December 1792 for England. Arrived at his destination, he began his usual work of visiting Quaker centers and also of holding meetings among those who were not Friends. He spent some time in Wales and in Bristol and vicinity, returning to London in time for the Friends' Yearly Meeting. Thence he went to Liverpool and took ship to Ireland, where he visited the various Friends' centers and attended the national Half-Year's Meeting at Dublin.
Soon after he was stricken with smallpox and died at the age of forty-two years.
After his death doubts of his soundness grew. His own Yearly Meeting (New England) became afraid to publish his works in full.

Scott was received as a member of the Society of Friends by his request, apparently about 1771.
He developed various advanced ideas of religion and of Biblical interpretation that anticipated some of the views of Christian modernism. The Scriptures to him were a "very good means of information" but not so important as the inward promptings of the divine spirit Christ, in his view, was the eternal spirit of God, once clothed in human flesh, but always, before and since that time, striving to enter into and regenerate human hearts. Thus there is no righteousness imputed nor forgiveness secured to men because of the death of Jesus on the cross.
During his lifetime his undoubted piety and uprightness apparently shielded him from criticism.
Scott had a small library of medical books and was occasionally referred to by contemporaries as a "doctor of physic. "
On June 1, 1780, Scott married Eunice Anthony, daughter of Daniel and Mary Anthony, who died in 1791 having borne him six children.
