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.
