About One Community Scotland
One Community Scotland is an award-winning, youth-led charity that supports young people aged 14-24 from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, with a particular focus on those settling as New Scots in Scotland.
We believe every young person should have the opportunity to feel safe, valued and empowered to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Working alongside young people, families and communities, we help remove barriers to inclusion and create opportunities that enable young people to thrive.
Our programmes support young people to:
· Overcome language barriers and build confidence.
· Develop financial literacy and life skills.
· Understand the Scottish education, employment and legal systems.
· Gain work experience, volunteering and apprenticeship opportunities
· Access First Aid and Mental Health Awareness training.
· Build positive relationships, resilience and a sense of belonging.
· Develop the skills and confidence to participate fully in their communities.
Our work is grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centred and wellbeing -focused approach, recognising the strengths, experiences and aspirations of every young person we support.
By working in partnership with young people, families, schools, employers and community organisations, we help create pathways to education, employment, personal development and active citizenship, contributing to stronger, safer and more inclusive communities across Scotland.
Our Mission
To empower and support young people in Scotland, particularly those who are new to the country, by providing a welcoming community, mentorship and resources that help them overcome challenges and achieve their personal and professional goals.
Through inclusivity, collaboration and guidance, we create pathways towards positive sustainable futures.
The Role
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of One Community Scotland.
Working collectively, trustees ensure the charity remains focused on its charitable purposes, complies with the requirements of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), and continues to provide effective support for young people and their families.
Our Board works closely with a dedicated and experience staff team, providing support, challenge and strategic guidance while ensuring good governance and accountability.
We’re Looking for People Who:
We are looking for Trustees who will bring enthusiasm, commitment and a genuine willingness to actively contribute to the work and development of One Community Scotland.
A key attribute for us is being a keen and active contributor. Being a Trustee is more than attending Board meetings. We are looking for people who are willing to engage with the organisation, participate in discussions, ask questions, contribute ideas, share their knowledge and experience, and play an active role in helping us achieve our strategic aims.
You will ideally:
· Share our passion for supporting young people and creating positive change.

· Enjoy working collaboratively as part of a team.
· Are committed to equality, inclusion and community empowerment.
· Can act with integrity, discretion and confidentiality.
· Are willing to share their skills and experience to help the organisation grow
Experience in Human Resources would be particularly valuable, but enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to contribute are just as important.

· Make a lasting difference to the lives of young people
· Help shape the strategic direction of an award-winning youth-led charity.

Ricefield Arts & Cultural Centre is a registered charity and social enterprise for the exploration and promotion of Chinese culture and has an excellent reputation for delivering original and inspiring creative experiences, cultural events and workshops to community groups, public institutions and arts audiences around Scotland.
We are currently looking to appoint a Treasurer to join our small Board. The Treasurer will be responsible for managing all financial matters on behalf of our organisation and will be responsible for ensuring that the organisation has robust financial processes to ensure it meets its legal and constitutional requirements. It will also be the responsibility of the Treasurer to report the financial position at the board meetings. While we encourage and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, we are keen to hear from candidates that have experience of charity financial management or are chartered in a suitable accountancy field.
All Trustees are required to attend monthly board meetings, either at our office located in the heart of Glasgow city centre or via Zoom. In addition, we ask Trustees to attend our annual board development day, important meetings with stakeholders and some events and projects, where possible. As Ricefield Arts is a social enterprise, the role also involves serving as our Board of Directors.
Please note that this is a voluntary role. Neither the Trustees nor Board of Directors receive any remuneration, however, travel expenses incurred in carrying out board duties will be fully reimbursed.
Other than the Treasurer, we also wish to appoint additional Trustee(s) with community engagement or cultural events management experience to serve our Board. Please check our website for more information.
