Are you passionate about empowering communities who are most affected by the climate crisis but whose voices are least often heard to take action? We support communities most affected by air pollution, increasing temperatures in the Global South and the transition away from fossil fuels to ask for systems change through community organising techniques. Do you understand the theory of Community Organising and have you had experience of educating, skilling up and supporting communities to campaign for change? If so we’d love to hear from you!

We are particularly keen to hear from people who experience marginalisation and minoritisation or who are often excluded from decision-making processes. For example, people of colour; people from working-class backgrounds; people from LGBTQ and migrant communities; care-experienced young people and people with disabilities.

We run programmes in schools and in partnership with other charities to reach communities who are most affected by climate change and to support them to take local action. This work is delivered by our programme team. This role will build on the programme work taking place by joining people up, on-boarding them into our movement and skilling them up to mobilise and campaign.

• Host at least 2 events in the year which support members to meet in-person and get to know each other. Look at whether these events could be organised more regularly through volunteers.
• Post regularly on socials and implement a newsletter for members.

Let’s talk about you

We’re open to people joining us from a variety of backgrounds, whether you’re stepping into your first role after gaining a recent qualification or looking to build on experience in youth work, employability or a related field. What matters most is your ability to engage young people, understand their challenges, and support them to move forward with confidence.

• An SVQ Level 3 in Social Care, Guidance or a similar area would be helpful, but we’re equally open to applicants who bring relevant experience instead of a formal qualification.
• Experience working with young people in group settings, particularly those facing multiple barriers, will be really valuable.
• A good understanding of the challenges young people face when trying to access employment, and the motivation to help them overcome these.
• Experience or insight into the Construction or Customer Service sectors would be beneficial, as these are key areas within our employability programmes.
• The ability to build positive relationships, maintain professional boundaries, and create an inclusive, youth‑centred learning environment.

Why Action for Children?

Every child should have a loving home, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn - the support to cope with life’s challenges. But too many children don’t. By bringing your passion and unique skills and experience, you’ll help us change that where it really matters.

We've been driven by love to take action for children for over 150 years, giving them the protection and practical help they need. A lot’s changed since 1869. But what children really need, hasn’t. So as long as children need us, we’ll be here.

Are you passionate about youth participation and ensuring that LGBTQ+ young people in Scotland are given the opportunities and skills to speak truth to power? Can you work with trans and non-binary young people to help them shape an existing platform of work so that they are achieving their aims? Can you provide goal orientated support for young people? If so, we want to hear from you.

Join our vibrant team of staff and volunteers delivering high quality services supporting LGBTQ+ young people right across Scotland.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative person to oversee our Trans Rights Youth Commission and our work with Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs).

You will:

· Oversee the Trans Rights Youth Commission (TRYC), ensuring that Commissioners are supported in their role and that regular development days occur

· Provide support to our two Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs) and their work within the Scottish Youth Parliament, including attending sittings of parliament and working with the MSYPs on submitting motions

This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the forefront of youth participation within Scotland and make a lasting, and sometimes life-saving, impact for LGBTQ+ young people, as well as supporting them to make such impacts themselves.

We want to hear from you if you have:

· A strong foundation in participatory or youth work practice.

· A passion for supporting young people to achieve their potential and developing their leadership skills

· A close understanding of LGBTQ+ identities and the key issues facing LGBTQ+ young people, particularly trans and non-binary young people – or a keen willingness to learn this

About Glasgow Tool Library

Glasgow Tool Library is a community-led charity that enables people to borrow tools and equipment instead of buying them. Through sharing resources, developing practical skills and building community connections, we help reduce waste, save people money and support a more sustainable Glasgow.

We are based at North Glasgow and run on an annual income of around £60,000, with 2 staff, up to 50 volunteers and more than 1000 members. Our funding comes from a mix of membership income, trading and grants.

About the role

The Freelance Finance Officer will be responsible for maintaining the financial systems and records of Glasgow Tool Library, ensuring accurate financial reporting, effective financial controls and compliance with charity and statutory requirements. A key element of the role is to support the improvement of financial management and reporting, and to help implement clear procedures and guides that staff, volunteers and trustees can follow.

Working closely with the Director and Board of Trustees, the Finance Officer will provide financial information and analysis to support informed decision-making and the long-term financial sustainability of the organisation.

What you'll do

You'll own GTL's day-to-day finances: bookkeeping and reconciliation in Xero and HubDoc, tracking restricted grant funds against budget, processing invoices, expenses and payroll journals, and producing monthly management accounts. You'll lead our annual OSCR reporting and work with staff and trustees to improve our financial systems, procedures and guidance.

What we're looking for

• Strong bookkeeping and reconciliation skills, with a good working knowledge of Xero
• Experience of charity accounting and restricted fund management
• Experience producing management accounts and financial reports
• Experience of Scottish third sector finance and OSCR reporting
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines and explain financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues

Why work with us

The Glasgow Tool Library is a small, growing charity with an ambitious board and a clear sense of where it wants to go next. You would be joining at a point where the finance function is being built properly, so there is real scope to shape how we do things rather than inherit a fixed system. The role is flexible: you set your own hours around agreed deadlines, work remotely, and can use the Tool Library's workshop and borrow from our collection like any other member.

You'll receive a full handover from the current post holder before taking on the group independently, and ongoing support from BOP's core team throughout.

Essential:

• 3+ years' experience leading collaborative theatre-making processes in participatory contexts
• Demonstrable experience working with disabled/neurodivergent young people or young adults
• Demonstrable experience adapting creative processes to support individual access requirements
• Substantial project management experience
• Experience of safeguarding protected adults
