Make a difference to the lives of students – become an External Lay Director for ENSA

ENSA is an independent, registered charity that exists to enable students to make the most of their university experience. Our three Elected Officers serve as champions for students, ensuring they are properly represented and have access to sports and societies, advice and support, training and events.

We currently have a strong Board of Directors with expertise in finance, governance and policy development. We’re looking for a new Director who is enthusiastic and committed, who believes that a great university experience can be truly transformational for students. Could this be you? We welcome applications from people across a broad range of professional backgrounds, especially those with experience in HR.

This is a voluntary, unremunerated position, though we will reimburse reasonable travel expenses. The Board meets four times a year, usually in the evening with a mixture of in-person and virtual meetings. Time commitment is approximately 6 hours a month (including preparing for meetings).

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for ENSA’s governance, for upholding its values and aligning it to the Association’s charitable aims. It aspires constantly to improve standards of governance and good practice. It also sets the overall strategic direction for ENSA and evaluates progress towards objectives.

Glasgow-based mental health charity Common Wheel is seeking a Volunteer Trustee Treasurer to join its Board

Organisation profile

Our vision is that people with mental illness in Glasgow can live a meaningful and satisfying life and contribute to society.

Our mission is to improve mental wellbeing, increase skills and reduce isolation through the provision of supported, meaningful activities for people with mental illness and dementia.

Our values are Care, Equality, Positivity and Partnership

We currently provide four principal activities as well as “drop-in” sessions at various Glasgow locations:

• Bicycle building, maintenance and repair at workshops in Maryhill and Bridgeton
• Participatory music, in a variety of settings
• Carnival art – creating art in all forms.
• Indoor climbing

We support people living in the local community, on hospital wards and in care homes. Over 500 people a year benefit from the work we do.

We will have an annual turnover of just under £300K and a permanent workforce of approximately seven staff, supported by volunteers and freelancers who help deliver our programmes.

Who are we looking for?

This is a volunteer role joining the existing Board of Trustees. The Treasurer will be a full trustee and will provide leadership and assurance on Common Wheel’s finances, while sharing collective responsibility for the charity’s governance and strategic direction.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with financial management, accounting or audit experience. A recognised accountancy qualification is welcome, but it is not essential where applicants can demonstrate strong financial literacy, sound judgement and experience of explaining financial information clearly to non-financial colleagues.

Experience of charity finance, governance, budgeting, risk management, reserves planning, payroll, funding or regulatory reporting would be valuable. The Treasurer should be collaborative and willing to work constructively with the Chair, Charity Manager, external Finance Manager, staff, trustees, independent examiner or auditor, and external advisers.

We welcome expressions of interest from younger candidates, women, people from ethnic minority communities, and disabled people, as we recognise our board would benefit from a greater diversity of backgrounds and perspectives.

Knowledge or experience of the charity or community sector is desirable but not essential. Direct experience of the issues our charity seeks to address is also welcome but not essential.

Role profile

As a trustee, the Treasurer shares the Board’s collective responsibilities and leads its scrutiny of financial matters. Key responsibilities include:

• ensuring that Common Wheel pursues its charitable purposes and complies with its governing document, charity law and other relevant legislation
• working with the Charity Manager, Finance Manager and relevant staff to prepare annual budgets, cash-flow forecasts and longer-term financial plans for Board approval
• presenting clear and timely financial reports to each Board meeting, highlighting performance against budget, cash position, forecasts, risks and decisions required
• helping trustees understand the charity’s financial position and the implications of strategic, operational and funding decisions
• overseeing the adequacy of financial controls, delegated authorities, banking arrangements, record keeping, fraud prevention and management of financial risk
• being an authorised user for banking purposes, able to deputise for the Finance Manager and other authorisers as required
• monitoring the charity’s reserves, restricted funds, income sustainability and use of resources, and advising the Board where corrective action is needed
• coordinating preparation and Board review of the annual accounts and trustees’ annual report, and liaising with the independent examiner or auditor
• supporting timely and accurate regulatory submissions, including annual returns and accounts, and helping ensure compliance with OSCR requirements, relevant accounting standards, tax and other applicable financial obligations
• contributing to strategic decision-making and working in partnership with the Project Manager and fellow trustees to achieve Common Wheel’s aims

The responsibilities of charity trustees in Scotland are set out in detail at oscr.org.uk/media/2728/v10_guidance-and-good-practice-for-charity-trustees.pdf

Time commitment

Board meetings typically take place on a Tuesday at 6pm each month and last for approximately 2 hours.

In addition, Trustees have historically taken part in an annual strategy development meeting, either at the weekend or extended evening session.

Trustees are also invited to join one of the sub-committees (currently focused on our bike project) or occasional working groups to suit their skills. These groups meet as and when necessary, at times to suit the members.

The Treasurer should also allow time between Board meetings to review management accounts, budgets, forecasts and year-end information; discuss material issues with the Chair and Project Manager; and liaise with the independent examiner or auditor. Additional time is likely around budget setting and preparation of the annual accounts.

Common Wheel is a small organisation supported by volunteers, so the Treasurer should be comfortable combining strategic oversight with occasional practical support, while respecting the distinction between governance and day-to-day management.

Expenses

All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.

Background

Common Wheel is a 25 year old Registered Charity, based in Glasgow, providing meaningful activity for people recovering from or experiencing mental illness. Our Programmes of activity include; Arts, Music, Climbing, Gardening, Bike Building and our own highly varied Drop In Programme delivered from our own premises at the Gartnavel Hospital, The Nook in Glasgow and other community facilities. Our Bike Building Programme (BYOB) is delivered from our well respected and long-established Bike Workshops in Maryhill and Bridgeton.

Our Bike Workshops are staffed by our existing Bike Engineers and are supported by our team of volunteer Bike Engineers. In addition to being commercial Bike Workshops offering bike sales and repairs, our workshops are also highly supportive, training workspaces where we deliver the Build Your Own Bike Programme.

Due to volume of work, we are currently seeking to recruit a new Bike Engineer who will work across both Bike Workshops ensuring we can have longer opening hours.

Who are we looking for?

We want to find someone who has a passion for bikes and the skills and patience to match. We need someone who can do more than fix bikes. The role is also about passing on your knowledge and passion to improve the lives of people with mental illness.

Our bike repair side is more creative than in other bike workshops. We do many custom builds and seldom sell a bike the way it left the factory.

As with any job there will be training in how we do things. We do expect you to be able to re-cable a ‘90s bike in less than an hour, build wheels, fit mudguards and all the usual bike repair skills.

We are also seeking someone with customer service skills, preferably in a bike environment and someone with IT skills as we have admin responsibilities to our Funders. Specific bike retail experience would be advantageous.

Ideally, we are seeking someone with a non-judgemental, nurturing, motivational approach who will be able to support our participants as fully as possible, someone who understands the challenges presented by mental illness.

The Bike Engineer will have a full Common Wheel induction and will have access to mental health training including; working with forensic patients, suicide prevention, self-harm and trauma informed practice. You may be asked to take part in the bike subcommittee which is made up of staff, volunteers and board members.

Clyde Scouts is one of the largest Scout charities in Scotland, supporting thousands of young people and volunteers across the west of Scotland. Our purpose is to help young people gain Skills for Life through adventure, teamwork, leadership, outdoor learning and personal development.

We support local Scout Groups and Districts through governance, training, safeguarding, programme support and operational services. This gives volunteers the confidence, tools and support they need to deliver great experiences in their communities.

Clyde Scouts operates Auchengillan Outdoor Centre, one of Scotland’s leading outdoor activity centres, and the Glasgow Scout Shop. We also provide support services across the region, helping Scouting remain accessible, inclusive and sustainable for future generations.

Accurate, well-controlled financial administration is an important part of that mission. As Accounts Assistant, you will help ensure resources reach local groups, centres, volunteers and activities, enabling Clyde Scouts to deliver its purpose responsibly and effectively.

The Accounts Assistant plays an important role in maintaining strong financial controls and supporting the effective operation of Clyde Scouts. You will help keep day-to-day finance activity accurate, timely and well organised, working closely with colleagues and contacts across the organisation. Your work will support charitable activities across the region, give colleagues reliable financial information and help Clyde Scouts use its resources responsibly. It is a practical role with real purpose: good financial administration helps the people, places and programmes that make Scouting possible. You will bring care, consistency and a helpful approach to a varied workload, while developing your understanding of charity finance and the wider work of Clyde Scouts.

Could you be the welcoming face of our charity?

Glasgow Disabled Scouts (GDS) gives young people aged 8 to 25 with disabilities and additional support needs across Glasgow the full Scouting experience: camps, friendships, adventures and independence. We're a charity run entirely by volunteers, from those aged 14 and up right through to our longest-serving leaders, and none of it happens without them.

We're looking for a warm Volunteer Coordinator who enjoys working with people to join us. The role is all about people: making every new volunteer feel welcomed from their very first enquiry, guiding them through joining, keeping in touch as they settle in, and being a familiar face at our Monday evening sessions.

What you'll do

You'll be the first person a new volunteer hears from. You'll respond to enquiries, have the first conversation with each new volunteer, guide people through the PVG and training process, and meet them on their first night. You'll attend volunteer fairs, university and Duke of Edinburgh events to bring new people in, and build relationships with the schools, colleges and organisations that send volunteers our way. Once people are with us, you'll check in, take an interest in how they're getting on, and help make sure they feel part of the team.

Who we're looking for

Someone warm, outgoing and reliable, who enjoys people and is good at keeping things moving. You'll be organised enough to manage a busy pipeline of enquiries and personable enough that a nervous new volunteer of 16 and a leader of ten years both feel at ease with you. Experience in volunteer coordination, recruitment, youth work, education, customer service or another role working closely with people would be useful, and transferable skills are very welcome. Experience of youth clubs, community groups or other volunteer-led organisations would be a bonus, not a requirement. We can teach the process. How you make people feel is what we're really looking for.

The role

14 hours a week on average, with the hours shaped by what the role needs rather than fixed days. Volunteer recruitment comes in waves, with September and the start of term especially busy, so you'll need to flex up when enquiries are flowing and will have more breathing space at quieter times. Being responsive during the week matters, and because all of our sections meet on a Monday evening, being there on Mondays is an essential part of the role. Around that, we're happy to talk about flexibility that fits with your other commitments. 18-month fixed-term contract with the potential for extension, subject to funding. £14.50 to £17.50 per hour depending on experience (£26,390 to £31,850 full-time equivalent, pro rata to 14 hours, around £10,550 to £12,750 a year). A PVG check will be required.

Could you be part of something different? We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to use their gifts, skills and experience to make a difference to the lives of the people in our parishes and communities.
