About Romano Lav

Romano Lav was established in 2013 by a local Roma woman, who, alongside other Roma, was frustrated with Roma people being left out of decision-making and their voices unheard. Since then, our work has challenged the racism, discrimination, and disadvantage experienced by local Roma people. Our team is made up of Roma and non-Roma people, working together in solidarity to promote social justice and achieve meaningful change.

Our work is diverse but united by the common objective of empowering Roma people, particularly Roma youth and Roma women and challenging the racialised structural inequalities that Roma people disproportionately face.

We support Roma communities to realise their rights via community education programmes. We evidence social inequalities by co-producing large-scale community research led by Roma youth. We dismantle barriers to realising rights, and we challenge inequalities, via evidence-based advocacy. We facilitate Roma inclusion by promoting Roma culture and creating intercultural dialogue. Our events and programmes are open to all, which creates greater community solidarity and mutual understanding.

Role and responsibilities

The Project Co-Coordinator will play a key role in supporting the smooth running and development of Romano Lav's projects and wider organisational work, working alongside Romano Lav’s other project co-coordinator.

The two Project Co-Coordinators work collaboratively and in solidarity, bringing complementary skills and approaches to support Romano Lav’s wider work. While both contribute to project management and organisational development, this role advertised here has a particular focus on providing support to our staff to develop and lead on projects, administration, reporting, and general organisational support that enable our projects to run effectively. The other Project Co-Coordinator works more closely with community members, playing a leading role in supporting community empowerment, leading projects and representing the organisation. Both roles are integral to our work and are grounded in a shared commitment to community leadership, mutual support, and the values of Romano Lav.

Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, the postholder will help ensure that projects are well organised, properly supported, and delivered in line with their aims, timescales and funding requirements.

2027 promises to be a very exciting time for our organisation, with strong foundations already laid for dynamic and innovative projects and activities, and a committed workforce working in a wide range of social action, wellbeing and cultural projects. The role is not to design new projects, but rather to facilitate and oversee the delivery of existing work and act as support where needed to staff designing and leading on their projects.

The role requires someone who is organised, proactive, and adaptable, with a genuine passion for community work and a supportive approach to working with colleagues. They will help staff to plan and deliver their own projects, providing practical coordination, administrative support and guidance where needed, while offering support to staff where needed - particularly to young people - to take ownership and lead their own work.

Our projects respond to a range of community needs and interests, and the postholder should be comfortable working across different areas of activity, building relationships and responding to changing priorities.

• Support staff to plan, coordinate and deliver a range of projects and activities, ensuring that work is organised, purposeful and delivered within agreed timescales.

• Identify potential challenges or delays, communicate these with colleagues and help find solutions.

Staff Support and Relationships

• Build positive, respectful working relationships with colleagues, young people, community members and partner organisations.
• Provide supportive and appropriate guidance to colleagues, helping them develop confidence, skills and independence in their roles.

• Help colleagues manage workloads, prioritise tasks and meet deadlines without unnecessarily taking over their responsibilities.
• Contribute to a positive, collaborative working environment where staff feel supported and able to raise challenges.
• Work constructively with colleagues across different projects and areas of responsibility, sharing information and supporting the wider team when needed.

Administration, Monitoring and Reporting

• Responsible for the preparation of regular progress reports, funder reports and other written updates such as board reports, gathering information from colleagues and communicating project progress clearly.
• Maintain clear and accurate project records, including workplans, activity records, monitoring information, spreadsheets and other project documentation.
• Assist with monitoring and evaluating project activities, ensuring that relevant information and evidence of outcomes are collected and recorded.
• Support colleagues to keep track of project deadlines, reporting requirements, budgets and other commitments.
• Support the organisation of meetings, including helping to prepare agendas, recording actions and following up on agreed tasks.
• Help ensure that project documentation, agreements and administrative requirements are in place and kept up to date.
• Support the preparation of funding applications and other organisational documents where required.

Communication and Partnership Working

• Maintain effective communication with colleagues to support co-ordination across the organisation.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with external partners, community organisations and other relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to the planning and promotion of events, activities and community initiatives.

Organisational Responsibilities

• Work in line with Romano Lav's policies, procedures and values, including our commitment to equality, anti-racism, human rights and community empowerment.
• Contribute to creating a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for staff, young people, community members and partners.
• Work flexibly across different areas of the organisation, responding to changing needs and priorities.
• Participate in team meetings, planning sessions, supervision and other organisational activities as required.
• Undertake other reasonable duties appropriate to the role.

Line Management and Workplan

• The postholder will report to Fatima Uygun, line manager and Trustee of Romano Lav.
• Work will be undertaken in line with an agreed workplan, with priorities reviewed regularly in discussion with the line manager and relevant colleagues.
• The postholder will work collaboratively with project staff, providing co-ordination and practical support to staff to lead on their own projects.
• The role requires a flexible and responsive approach, balancing planned work with emerging organisational and community needs.

About Us

Tiny Changes is Scotland’s first national young people’s mental health charity. We co-produce and run projects with young leaders that help young minds feel better. The charity was set up originally by the family of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison, who took his own life in 2018. We believe that Scotland’s young people deserve great mental health, and we believe in their insight and innovation to make this possible. We exist to nurture the talent of young people to find creative solutions that work for them.

We are looking for people to join our Board of Trustees who have the experience and/or skills to step into an office bearer role either in 2027 or after a period of finding your feet on the Board - Secretary, Chair, or Treasurer.

This is an exciting leadership opportunity to join a small Scottish charity and help improve its income and impact.

About You

You have knowledge and experience to bring to the Tiny Changes Board that you are confident will improve the sustainability and strategic direction of this small charity. You know the difference between governance and operations, and how to make the most of the relatively small amount of time you likely have to offer as a voluntary trustee. You have a can-do attitude and one of your strengths is that you know which questions to ask, and what level of risk to take with decisions and finances, at the right time.

We’re looking for Trustees who:

• Share our values – Hopeful, Brave, Honest, Kind

• Are committed to our vision and goals

• Are under 30

• Are any age and have experience and skills suited to becoming a Secretary, Treasurer or Chair

• Have knowledge of and interest in mental health issues and systemic inequalities affecting children and young people in Scotland

• Bring a different perspective to the work of the trustees and leadership team

• Are self reflective and confident at asking questions or contributing to high level decision making

• Are able to commit the charity commission recommended approx. 2 hours per month, and more hours to prep for Board meetings, and as an office bearer

We are interested in hearing from people with skills in organisational leadership at chief executive or director level, financial management, fundraising and related marketing, equalities, HR and/or legal, youth-led movements and creative co-production, or non-clinical young people’s mental health services.

We particularly welcome applications from the following groups:

• Young people under 30

• Disabled people

• Neurodiverse people

• People with experience of caring roles

• Care experienced people

• People from minority ethnic communities

• Asylum seekers or refugees

• People who identify as any gender that’s not cisgender

• People who identify as LGBTQIA+

• People from gypsy traveller communities

• People from a wide range of religious and cultural backgrounds

Partners in Advocacy has established itself as one of Scotland's leading providers of independent advocacy, delivering exceptional advocacy services since 1998.

We are thrilled to present a wonderful opportunity within our children’s advocacy service nationwide throughout Scotland- “My Rights, My Say”. As an independent advocacy worker, you will have the privilege of providing one-to-one independent advocacy to children and young people with additional support needs who are age 12 to 15 and support them to exercise their rights within education. Through this role, you will ensure that their voices are heard, enabling them to make informed choices, protect their rights and have a meaningful impact on decisions that affect their education and lives.

Please note that although this post is advertised as hybrid, the successful candidate will work from home or office if preferred with the need to travel to meet advocacy partners and as this is a nationwide service this could mean travel at times to all areas of Scotland.

Applicants should also hold a current driving licence and have access to a roadworthy vehicle for work use.

We strongly encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply. If you believe your skills, experience, and expertise align with the criteria outlined in the person specification, we would be delighted to hear from you.
