SISTEMA SCOTLAND: BIG NOISE GOVANHILL (GLASGOW)
Sistema Scotland’s vision is to improve lives and strengthen communities. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change. By playing music together in ensembles and orchestras, we aim to grow confidence, respect, teamwork and aspiration in the children, young people and communities we work with. We deliver our work through six Big Noise programmes: in Raploch & Fallin in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow, Torry in Aberdeen, Douglas in Dundee and Wester Hailes in Edinburgh.
Following the appointment of Ali Gornall (current Head of Centre for Big Noise Govanhill) to the role of Deputy Director of Music & Curriculum, this is an exciting opportunity to join our organisation to lead, manage and deliver the Big Noise Govanhill programme. You will work with the team and the community to ensure the model supports as many Govanhill young people and families as possible. As part of the Sistema Scotland leadership team, you will also participate in and build the organisation’s strategy, bringing determination to tackle inequality in Scotland and ensuring that community voices are central to solutions to tackle poverty. You will advocate and highly value the role of early intervention, creativity, music and relationship-based practice in improving lives.
With extensive experience of successful leadership & management of teams, you will also have experience of working with children, young people & communities, and building & sustaining positive relationships with a variety of stake-holders, along with a professional standard of playing on your principal instrument.
This is a full time (35 hours per week), permanent post.
Do you …
Have connections with Gorbals and Govanhill?
Believe in local democracy, youth work and community development?
Share our values of inclusion, environmental justice and social action?
Have experience, skills or energies that we can use?
Crossroads was founded in 1968, with the declaration that everyone should have the right to ‘live gloriously’. This meant two things: tackling whatever in society gets in the way of a fulfilling life, and nurturing and strengthening people’s confidence and resilience. Based at the Barn in Gorbals, we work with young people, families, and individuals, and work on issues of disability, mental health, migration, housing conditions and much more. Wherever possible we work to bring people together to share experiences, decide together and act together.
Our Board of Trustees is rooted in the community, and elected by members of the Association. These local roots have been essential to the survival of the organisation for over 50 years, against a background that has not always been friendly towards local action or challenges to authority. The survival has also depended on the essential advice and support of legal, financial and organisational talents both within the organisation and from supporters, so that we can demonstrate our integrity and responsibility.
We are looking to increase the strength and breadth of memebrship of our Board of Trustees / Directors and are keen to bring new members on Board. We would particularly welcome interest from younger people, minorities, and those with professional and life experiences we can draw on.
The Women’s Support Project (WSP) is a national organisation based in Glasgow. We aim to raise awareness of the extent and effects of violence against women and girls (VAWG), and to support those affected by this. The WSP adopts a feminist ethos and principles in all its activities. Key themes in our work are addressing unmet need and emerging issues, making links between different forms of violence and abuse, and supporting multiagency and partnership approaches, ensuring the root causes of male VAWG are addressed. The work of WSP bridges the gap between statutory and specialist services in their response to male VAWG.
Our priority areas of focus are:
- Commercial Sexual Exploitation (including women involved in selling or exchanging sex);
- Racially minoritised women’s experiences of VAWG (including FGM and ritual practices);
- Technologically facilitated harm.

The Women's Support Project is seeking an administrator to support the efficient running of the organisation.
