Make a difference in Scotland's Gypsy/Traveller communities

MECOPP (Minority Ethnic Carers of People Project) is Scotland's leading Black and Minority Ethnic carers' organisation. We work to reduce inequalities, improve access to culturally responsive services, and support some of the most marginalised communities across Scotland.

Help make a real difference to Gypsy/Traveller individuals and families by supporting them to increase their income, reduce financial pressure, and access the support they are entitled to.

The postholder will provide practical advice and casework support to help people maximise income, access benefits and grants, manage financial pressures, and navigate welfare and support systems.

Working as part of MECOPP’s Better Wellbeing Service, the role will include assessment, advocacy, support with applications, liaison with relevant agencies, and signposting to wider sources of help where needed.

We are keen to hear from someone with experience in welfare rights, benefits advice, income maximisation or related casework, and a strong commitment to equality, inclusion and improving outcomes for Gypsy/Traveller communities.
