We’re Hiring: Product‑Focused Woodworker (2‑Year Post)

Help Us Shape the Future of Glasgow Wood

Glasgow Wood is on a mission to strengthen our organisation, boost our trading income, and build a more sustainable future — and we’re looking for a skilled, creative woodworker to help make it happen.

About the Role

We face a clear challenge: seasonal dips in income during autumn and winter. Your job will be to help us turn that challenge into opportunity.

As our dedicated Product Development Woodworker, you will:

• Design and develop new products that appeal to customers during our quieter trading periods

• Work closely with our Volunteer Development Worker to involve a diverse range of volunteers

• Support volunteers to build confidence, skills, and hands‑on experience

• Collaborate with staff and volunteers to identify product ideas that strengthen our income year‑round

• Contribute to a more resilient, sustainable organisation

This is a two‑year role giving you the time and space to make a real impact.

Role Details

We are offering an annual salary of £21,850 for a 28-hour week. The role reports to the Managing Director and is based at our South Street Workshop.

Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of a community‑driven organisation with a strong social purpose. Your creativity and craftsmanship will directly support our long‑term sustainability, while helping people develop skills and feel more connected.

Our board will regularly review progress — from sales and profitability to volunteer impact — ensuring we stay on track and continue to grow stronger together.

Working within The Whiteinch Centre (TWC), the Community Projects Worker will play a key role in the day‑to‑day delivery of community activities, food provision, and group programmes.

The post holder will be actively involved in daily operational activity and will help identify gaps in local provision, engage with community members, and support volunteers to carry out their roles effectively.

The successful candidate will ensure that TWC offers a welcoming, inclusive and vibrant environment where local people can access support, participate in activities, and build connections.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, a proactive and hands‑on approach, and a commitment to providing accessible, no‑cost or low‑cost services that promote dignity, wellbeing and connection within the community.

The Whiteinch Centre is a vibrant community hub dedicated to improving lives through community-led, person-centred services and activities. More information is available in the TWC Business Plan 2025-2030 or on the TWC website: whiteinchcentre.org.uk
