Paragon Music is seeking a dynamic and motivated Business Development Manager to lead fundraising, oversee financial and governance functions, and support strategic growth. This is a pivotal role within the organisation, contributing directly to the sustainability and expansion of our inclusive music and dance programmes across Scotland and beyond. The post-holder will initially focus on fundraising and business development before broadening their remit to include governance and financial management following a period of onboarding.

Good Food Scotland is looking for new Trustees to join the Board as the organisation moves into its next stage.

Across Glasgow we run nine community food shops, employ 19 staff and spend more than £350,000 each year on food for our members. The scale of the work is significant and it reflects the scale of the challenge facing many households across the city.

Most of our shops are based in communities experiencing some of the highest levels of deprivation in Scotland, including areas ranked among the most deprived on the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. In many of these neighbourhoods access to affordable, healthy food is limited, while wider pressures around housing costs, debt, energy bills and low income continue to shape everyday life for many families.

Food poverty rarely exists on its own. More often it reflects wider poverty and inequality. Our approach starts with food, but it does not stop there.

Food is often the reason someone first walks through the door. After that, the aim is to make sure people can access the wider support that helps them feel more secure, more connected and better able to cope with the pressures they are facing.

Our shops provide access to affordable, nutritious food and they also act as community spaces where people can meet others, find advice and connect with local support. We work alongside partners such as Govan Law Centre, One Parent Families Scotland and energy advice services, while the shops themselves are delivered in partnership with housing associations including Wheatley Group, Linthouse Housing Association, Sanctuary Scotland and Southside Housing Association. Through these partnerships members can access help with issues that often sit behind food poverty in the first place.

Until now the work has been delivered as part of the Feeding Britain network. We are now establishing Good Food Scotland as an independent Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, while continuing to work closely with Feeding Britain as a partner. This is an important step for the organisation, and it brings an opportunity to strengthen governance and shape how the charity develops over the coming years.

Our ambition is to build a model that is financially sustainable and capable of growing into other communities across Scotland.

About the role

Trustees play an important part in guiding the organisation and making sure it remains well run and focused on the communities it exists to serve. The Board works closely with the leadership team, offering support, challenge and oversight, helping shape the longer term direction of the charity while making sure strong governance and financial responsibility remain in place.

What we are looking for

As the organisation continues to grow we are particularly keen to hear from people who bring experience in one or more of the following areas.

Commercial retail experience, particularly where you understand how multi site operations work in practice and where improvements to systems, stock management or logistics could strengthen how the shops run.

Finance or accounting experience, ideally someone who may be willing to take on the role of Treasurer and help the Board maintain strong financial oversight.

Legal experience, helping ensure the charity meets its responsibilities and operates within the appropriate governance framework.

Previous board experience can be helpful but it is not essential. Practical knowledge, sound judgement and a willingness to contribute are just as important. We would also welcome interest from people whose lived experience reflects the communities we work alongside.

Why join the Board

Good Food Scotland is already working at scale across Glasgow and making a real difference in communities that face some of the toughest economic pressures in the country. Joining the Board offers the opportunity to contribute to work that is practical, community rooted and focused on long term change.

For those with relevant experience it is also a chance to help shape the organisation as it establishes itself as an independent charity and looks at how the model can grow into other communities.

Time commitment

Trustees attend quarterly board meetings, with occasional input between meetings when needed. Meetings may take place more regularly over the next 12months, with Trustees able to attend in person in Glasgow or online.

If you are interested in using your experience to support communities across Glasgow and help shape the future direction of Good Food Scotland, we would be pleased to hear from you.

The Creative Development & Opportunities Coordinator (Part-Time) will work closely with the Development Manager to support the coordination of resources, creative practitioners, and delivery processes across Sunny Govan Community Radio’s existing and expanding cultural activity.

This is a coordination and capacity-building support role, designed to strengthen systems and reduce pressure on delivery staff as activity grows. The post supports the administration, scheduling, recruitment support, contracting, and payment processes that underpin Sunny Govan’s cultural programmes, ensuring delivery remains joined-up, realistic, and compliant with funder and Fair Work expectations.

Working within a collective, non-hierarchical approach, the Coordinator supports cultural activity as an interconnected network of projects, people, and relationships rather than isolated strands of delivery. The role does not carry strategic responsibility or line management, but provides essential coordination infrastructure that enables high-quality, community-led cultural activity to take place sustainably.

This post contributes directly to Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective priorities by strengthening place-based cultural infrastructure and ensuring creative practitioners are fairly recruited, contracted, supported, and paid.

North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) is entering a significant phase of organisational development, with access to a new community-owned building, a long-term lease of Milton Community Garden, and the launch of a community food truck in early 2026. These assets present a major opportunity to develop social enterprise activity and earned income that supports long-term financial sustainability.

The Income Generation & Partnerships Manager is a fixed-term, two-year development role. The purpose of the role is to design, test, and embed sustainable income-generation models linked to NGCFI’s assets, ensuring that successful approaches can continue beyond the funding period.

This role is focused on social enterprise development, partnership building, and business planning, and is separate from core frontline service delivery.

The Finance Officer is responsible for implementing and maintaining robust financial systems and procedures that support the Project Manager and staff team. The role ensures that all staff meet their budgetary and financial management responsibilities, safeguarding the accuracy, compliance, and integrity of the organisation’s financial activities and records.

As the organisation expands its trading and income-generation activities, the Finance Officer will play a key role in supporting the transition towards reduced reliance on grant funding. The organisation works with approximately 50 funders annually, managing multiple budgets with varying timescales, reporting requirements, and deadlines.

GNWCAB’s Board of Directors are looking for four new Directors to work alongside other board members to oversee and support our Chief Executive and our dynamic team of staff and volunteers. Later this year, we will be moving premises and we are seeking to expand our Board to support this process and our onward development. At this important point in our journey, we are seeking Directors who can bring different perspectives to help the Bureau achieve its plans for the future and provide the most relevant and accessible advice services possible.

The Board is currently made up of seven Directors, each offering a different skillset that can support the governance needs and development aims of the organisation. We welcome applications from anyone who feels passionate about our work, regardless of professional background.

The Board has identified an upcoming skills gap related to third sector fundraising and governance, and we hope to fill one of the four roles with someone who has experience of this kind. We would encourage applicants with this background to also consider joining our Finance, Risk, and Audit Committee (FRAC).

For the remaining three roles, we encourage candidates of all kinds, particularly those with strong knowledge of and connections to north west Glasgow. Most important to us is finding candidates who fit our values and our organisation. We are looking for people who are approachable, transparent, team players, positive influencers and who are willing to contribute to debate.

GNWCAB’s staff team, volunteers and clients come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and widening access and inclusion is central to our mission and our values. We want our Board to be representative of our local community and so would welcome approaches from people who live locally or have lived experience of issues facing our clients. We encourage applications from groups that are under-represented on charity boards, particularly people from Black, Asian, or other minority ethnic communities, as well as young and Disabled people.

We happily welcome applications from people who have not been senior volunteers or sat on a board before. GNWCAB is committed to the on-going development of our staff and volunteers and we provide opportunities for training and engagement across the organisation on a regular basis. As a new Director, you will be fully inducted and offered training tailored to your level of experience that would support your development in the role.

The position is unpaid, but expenses are covered.

As part of our Board, you will help shape how the charity moves forward and be involved in delivering our services. As a Trustee, you will have a real opportunity to offer your unique skillset to help shape the progression of our work, while contributing your input and experience to the community.

Induction and training are provided, and we welcome applicants who have had no previous experience of being a Board member, but who would like to benefit from the experience.
