The Community Engagement Manager will lead the delivery of our Stand Up, Speak Out project and oversee the development, coordination and delivery of community engagement activity across Firhill, Springburn and the wider north of Glasgow.

The core purpose of the role is to provide support, safe spaces and meaningful opportunities for young people predominantly aged 14–21 within the communities we serve.

The role will also build strong relationships with local residents, community groups, schools, partners and stakeholders; ensure that PTCT programmes are responsive to local needs; and help grow participation, impact and the visibility of the Trust’s work.
