TACT is looking for one exceptional and experienced individual to become a member of the new Family Forward Ayrshire team.

The Role:

The Community Engagement Worker will make sure there is “no wrong door” into Family Forward Ayrshire for families who may be least likely to self-refer or engage with formal services.

The role will build and maintain trusted relationships with community organisations and local networks across all three Ayrshire areas, creating accessible and credible routes into the programme. The post will work particularly with communities experiencing poverty, exclusion or barriers to accessing services, ensuring that the programme reaches families who might otherwise remain unseen.

The Community Engagement Worker will act as a trusted local presence for the programme, working alongside community organisations, schools, minority ethnic communities, peer networks and voluntary groups. The role will support families to take their first steps into the programme, gather intelligence about what communities are experiencing, and ensure that the programme remains responsive to local needs.

The role is therefore central to achieving the programme's ambition to increase referral volume while ensuring that at least 60% of engagement is with identified priority groups.

Role Philosophy

The Community Engagement Worker will help ensure that Family Forward Ayrshire goes to the places and relationships where families already feel safe and trusted, rather than expecting families to find their way to the service.

The role is about building bridges between communities and the programme: developing trust, creating informal opportunities to engage, reducing barriers and ensuring that families who are least likely to self-refer are not left behind.

The Community Engagement Worker will be the programme's human face in the community, creating the trusted local routes through which families can take their first step towards sustained support.

Equality and Inclusion

We are committed to building a diverse workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Applications from people with lived experience of poverty, caring responsibilities or barriers to employment are encouraged.

About TACT:

The Ayrshire Community Trust (TACT) is a charity based in North Ayrshire that provides programmes and projects that make a difference to people’s lives by encouraging, supporting and promoting community action.

TACT are a Living Wage and Living Hours employer.

TACT is looking for one exceptional and experienced individual to become a member of the new Family Forward Ayrshire team.

The Role:

The Early-Stage Employability Worker will provide a dedicated confidence, readiness and early employability strand for adults who are furthest from the labour market and who may not yet be ready to engage with mainstream employability provision.

The role recognises that for some adults, particularly those experiencing poverty, poor health, trauma, low confidence or disrupted life circumstances, a conventional employability offer can be too early or feel unattainable. The focus is therefore on building the foundations for future progression: confidence, routine, participation, relationships, practical experience and a sense of capability.

Working within each person's existing family plan, the Early-Stage Employability Worker will provide flexible, strengths-based support without imposing a compliance or progression requirement. The role will work closely with Family Navigators and the Progression Coordinator so that adults can move towards further employability support when they are genuinely ready, rather than being pushed prematurely into formal provision.

Role Philosophy:

The Early-Stage Employability Worker recognises that employment is sometimes the destination, not the starting point.

For adults who are furthest from the labour market, the first step may be leaving the house, joining a group, trying something new, taking on a small responsibility, volunteering for an hour or simply beginning to believe that change is possible.

The role is therefore about building the first rungs of the ladder. It creates safe opportunities for skills, confidence and participation while remaining connected to the individual's wider family plan. Progression is encouraged when it is meaningful and sustainable, but never pursued simply to meet a target.

The worker's role is to help adults move from “I'm not ready” to “I might be able to”, and ultimately to support them to take their next step when that step is genuinely theirs.

Equality and Inclusion

We are committed to building a diverse workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Applications from people with lived experience of poverty, caring responsibilities or barriers to employment are encouraged.

About Glasgow Tool Library

Glasgow Tool Library is a community-led charity that enables people to borrow tools and equipment instead of buying them. Through sharing resources, developing practical skills and building community connections, we help reduce waste, save people money and support a more sustainable Glasgow.

We are based at North Glasgow and run on an annual income of around £60,000, with 2 staff, up to 50 volunteers and more than 1000 members. Our funding comes from a mix of membership income, trading and grants.

About the role

The Freelance Finance Officer will be responsible for maintaining the financial systems and records of Glasgow Tool Library, ensuring accurate financial reporting, effective financial controls and compliance with charity and statutory requirements. A key element of the role is to support the improvement of financial management and reporting, and to help implement clear procedures and guides that staff, volunteers and trustees can follow.

Working closely with the Director and Board of Trustees, the Finance Officer will provide financial information and analysis to support informed decision-making and the long-term financial sustainability of the organisation.

What you'll do

You'll own GTL's day-to-day finances: bookkeeping and reconciliation in Xero and HubDoc, tracking restricted grant funds against budget, processing invoices, expenses and payroll journals, and producing monthly management accounts. You'll lead our annual OSCR reporting and work with staff and trustees to improve our financial systems, procedures and guidance.

What we're looking for

• Strong bookkeeping and reconciliation skills, with a good working knowledge of Xero
• Experience of charity accounting and restricted fund management
• Experience producing management accounts and financial reports
• Experience of Scottish third sector finance and OSCR reporting
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines and explain financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues

Why work with us

The Glasgow Tool Library is a small, growing charity with an ambitious board and a clear sense of where it wants to go next. You would be joining at a point where the finance function is being built properly, so there is real scope to shape how we do things rather than inherit a fixed system. The role is flexible: you set your own hours around agreed deadlines, work remotely, and can use the Tool Library's workshop and borrow from our collection like any other member.

We are looking for an experienced senior leader with strong strategic, financial, commercial and people leadership skills, experience of working with Boards or Trustees, and the ability to build effective partnerships. Experience of community development, social enterprise or the Scottish voluntary sector would be advantageous. In addition, experience of property management would be welcome.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a respected community organisation with strong foundations, significant community assets and ambitious plans for the future.
