Since being granted our Royal Charter in 1599, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow has been improving health and healthcare for people around the world.

Today, we are a professional membership body providing education, assessment and development to more than 15,000 Fellows and Members at all stages of their careers. We are a UK organisation with a global membership.

Our estate in the heart of Glasgow city centre includes modern conferencing and events facilities, a rich and extensive heritage collection with museum status, a library and our multi-award winning events offering, 1599 at the Royal College.

Our purpose is built around delivering:

• Excellent education and outstanding member experience
• New standards through assessment and gold standard qualifications
• Transformative impact on the health and wellbeing of the wider world

Our vision: To build an influential global community that enables our Members to develop the skills, knowledge and influence to improve healthcare standards worldwide.

Our mission: We want to enable our Members to achieve their full potential as healthcare professionals and give them an influential voice in the world.

Our values: The College is not a building or a tradition, but a global community. In all that we do, we’re committed to putting our people first: Fellows and Members, those undertaking our education and assessment, colleagues and partners.

For us, how we work is as important as what we do, and we aim to live by our values. They embody the essence of the College motto, conjurat amice, meaning ‘together in friendship’. It’s an approach that is as relevant today as it was 425 years ago.

• Community Working together to support one another to succeed; listening to and engaging with partners and people, locally, nationally and globally, to achieve our core purpose.
• Integrity Valuing and learning from our heritage and commitment to excellence; never compromising on our core purpose, our standards and the quality of delivery.
• Innovation Proactively challenging current thinking with a forward-looking agile approach that meets the changing needs of our members and all those who interact with us.

Today, we are the UK’s only multidisciplinary Royal College, with a global community of more than 15,000 Fellows and Members. It is an extraordinary network, united by a shared commitment to improving standards of healthcare and making a difference to patients and communities around the world.

This is a particularly exciting time to join us. Our organisational strategy (2025 to 2028) sets out clear ambitions for education, assessment, global engagement, membership and operational excellence. We also know that fundraising will help us go further: widening access through scholarships and bursaries, supporting global health initiatives, investing in leadership and wellbeing, and opening up our remarkable heritage and collections to wider audiences.

We are now ready to approach fundraising with greater purpose. Our Trustees have approved a three-year Fundraising Strategy to move the College from largely opportunistic activity to a structured and professionally managed programme. The direction is agreed and there is real support for making it work. What we need now is the right person to turn that ambition into action.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build a new fundraising function. You will shape the propositions, develop the pipeline, establish strong donor relationships and put in place the systems and standards that will support fundraising for years to come. You will work closely with me, our Trustees, senior colleagues, Fellows and Members, while bringing the professional judgement to inform where our best opportunities lie.

We are ambitious, but we are also realistic. We know that successful fundraising takes time. That early progress will be seen not only in income generation, but in the strength of our relationships, the quality of our propositions and the confidence with which the College engages potential supporters. You will have the scope and support to make your mark, alongside colleagues who understand that building a successful fundraising programme must be a shared endeavour.

For the right person, this is a rare opportunity: to establish a new function within an historic and internationally connected College, and to help translate our purpose into opportunities for people to support work that matters.

Clyde Scouts is one of the largest Scout charities in Scotland, supporting thousands of young people and volunteers across the west of Scotland. Our purpose is to help young people gain Skills for Life through adventure, teamwork, leadership, outdoor learning and personal development.

We support local Scout Groups and Districts through governance, training, safeguarding, programme support and operational services. This gives volunteers the confidence, tools and support they need to deliver great experiences in their communities.

Clyde Scouts operates Auchengillan Outdoor Centre, one of Scotland’s leading outdoor activity centres, and the Glasgow Scout Shop. We also provide support services across the region, helping Scouting remain accessible, inclusive and sustainable for future generations.

Accurate, well-controlled financial administration is an important part of that mission. As Accounts Assistant, you will help ensure resources reach local groups, centres, volunteers and activities, enabling Clyde Scouts to deliver its purpose responsibly and effectively.

The Accounts Assistant plays an important role in maintaining strong financial controls and supporting the effective operation of Clyde Scouts. You will help keep day-to-day finance activity accurate, timely and well organised, working closely with colleagues and contacts across the organisation. Your work will support charitable activities across the region, give colleagues reliable financial information and help Clyde Scouts use its resources responsibly. It is a practical role with real purpose: good financial administration helps the people, places and programmes that make Scouting possible. You will bring care, consistency and a helpful approach to a varied workload, while developing your understanding of charity finance and the wider work of Clyde Scouts.

Are you an organised, detail-focused finance professional who enjoys working with numbers and wants to use your skills to make a positive difference?

We're looking for a motivated and reliable Finance Officer to join our team and play an important role in supporting the financial operations of the Charity. As a national charity supporting LGBTQ+ young people across Scotland, our work makes a meaningful difference to the individuals and communities we serve. Behind that work is the need for accurate, effective and responsible financial management.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has demonstrable experience of bookkeeping and financial administration.

• Has a good understanding of accounting principles, financial reconciliations and financial controls.

• Is confident using accounting software and Microsoft Excel (experience of QuickBooks Online would be an advantage).

• Is highly organised, accurate and able to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

• Is trustworthy, discreet and comfortable handling confidential financial and payroll information.

• Can work independently, use initiative and communicate effectively with colleagues.

Experience of working in a charity or not-for-profit organisation, and an understanding of restricted funding, would be particularly welcome, but is not essential. Above all, we're looking for someone who shares our values and wants to contribute to an organisation making a positive difference to LGBTQ+ young people's lives.

You'll be joining a committed and supportive team, where your skills and contribution will be valued. You will also have the opportunity to work in a varied finance role.

Could you be the welcoming face of our charity?

Glasgow Disabled Scouts (GDS) gives young people aged 8 to 25 with disabilities and additional support needs across Glasgow the full Scouting experience: camps, friendships, adventures and independence. We're a charity run entirely by volunteers, from those aged 14 and up right through to our longest-serving leaders, and none of it happens without them.

We're looking for a warm Volunteer Coordinator who enjoys working with people to join us. The role is all about people: making every new volunteer feel welcomed from their very first enquiry, guiding them through joining, keeping in touch as they settle in, and being a familiar face at our Monday evening sessions.

What you'll do

You'll be the first person a new volunteer hears from. You'll respond to enquiries, have the first conversation with each new volunteer, guide people through the PVG and training process, and meet them on their first night. You'll attend volunteer fairs, university and Duke of Edinburgh events to bring new people in, and build relationships with the schools, colleges and organisations that send volunteers our way. Once people are with us, you'll check in, take an interest in how they're getting on, and help make sure they feel part of the team.

Who we're looking for

Someone warm, outgoing and reliable, who enjoys people and is good at keeping things moving. You'll be organised enough to manage a busy pipeline of enquiries and personable enough that a nervous new volunteer of 16 and a leader of ten years both feel at ease with you. Experience in volunteer coordination, recruitment, youth work, education, customer service or another role working closely with people would be useful, and transferable skills are very welcome. Experience of youth clubs, community groups or other volunteer-led organisations would be a bonus, not a requirement. We can teach the process. How you make people feel is what we're really looking for.

The role

14 hours a week on average, with the hours shaped by what the role needs rather than fixed days. Volunteer recruitment comes in waves, with September and the start of term especially busy, so you'll need to flex up when enquiries are flowing and will have more breathing space at quieter times. Being responsive during the week matters, and because all of our sections meet on a Monday evening, being there on Mondays is an essential part of the role. Around that, we're happy to talk about flexibility that fits with your other commitments. 18-month fixed-term contract with the potential for extension, subject to funding. £14.50 to £17.50 per hour depending on experience (£26,390 to £31,850 full-time equivalent, pro rata to 14 hours, around £10,550 to £12,750 a year). A PVG check will be required.

Could you be part of something different? We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to use their gifts, skills and experience to make a difference to the lives of the people in our parishes and communities.

The Scottish International Education Trust is seeking to appoint two new trustees at an exciting time in the charity’s history.

The trust has been helping remarkable young Scots fulfill their potential for over half a century. The trustees recently committed to an extensive programme of fundraising to ensure we continue to fulfil our mission for many years to come. We are looking for new trustees whose energy, insights and commitment to the transformative power of international education can help us build for the next fifty years.

SIET makes grants of up to £3,000, typically to those seeking to pursue postgraduate education overseas. The awards are targeted at those who might otherwise struggle to afford opportunities that allow them to achieve their potential. However, we know from long experience that awards provide more than just financial assistance. In the words of one recent recipient: “The award has been, for me personally, much more than just financial help. It was a really huge confidence boost to know that someone believed in me."

We are particularly keen to receive applications from former recipients of our awards, those who can help the board more accurately reflect the communities it seeks to serve, and those who have particular insights in fundraising, communications, charitable governance, widening access in higher education, or developing networks of alumni or similar stakeholders.
