Background on Glasgow Community Energy:

Glasgow Community Energy is a renewable energy co-operative working to ensure Glasgow’s transition to net-zero is rooted in climate and social justice. We currently operate two community-owned rooftop solar panel installations and have around 200 members and a growing network of partner community organisations across the city. Our solar installations were financed by grant funding and community shares – where local people had the opportunity to invest and become members of our co-op. We sell reduced-cost electricity to the host buildings which generates an income that we use primarily to distribute to local community groups via our Cathy McCormack Community Activism Fund. The Fund is also distributing additional funding in 2026 and 2027 that we have been awarded by Foundation Scotland.

In 2024 we developed a business plan laying out our strategy for growing the community energy sector in Glasgow over the next 5 years. We were successful in securing funding to support this and are now part way through the second year of delivering this work. Over this period we aim to develop and install 1-2 Megawatts of new community-owned rooftop solar panel projects, deliver a targeted community engagement programme, develop our activism fund and increase our membership.

The Engagement Co-ordinator will join our team alongside two existing members of staff (Development Manager and Renewables Co-ordinator) and our volunteer Board.

Overview of the Role

Working closely with the Development Manager, Renewables Co-ordinator, Board and community partners, the post holder will lead the delivery of the following work streams:

Neighbourhood engagement. We work with a broad range of local community organisations across Glasgow to improve understanding of community energy and ensure that local people are in control of how our projects are developed. We run a programme of events and ongoing engagement work in target areas, primarily focusing on marginalised and underprivileged neighbourhoods, where we work alongside local people to identify potential community owned energy projects and work together to make them happen.

Membership and communications. We recently launched a Community Membership scheme, which aims to reduce barriers to membership of GCE. This has been supported by the development of a new Client Relationship Management (CRM) tool and a new website. Further work to promote the membership offer and engage new and existing members in our work is planned, as well as further development work to improve our CRM. This will be integrated alongside a broader comms programme for social media, newsletters, website updates etc.

Community Activism Fund. We have recently completed a series of workshops with community organisations across Glasgow to co-design the funding principles and process for our community activism fund from 2027 onwards. A set of recommendations from this co-design group will inform the detailed development and rollout of the 2027 fund.

This role is ideal for someone with a dedicated background in community engagement in the non-profit sector who is excited to work collaboratively in a small, purpose-driven team. The post holder will need excellent skills in project management, event co-ordination, relationship building, communications and social media, a good working knowledge of grant funding processes and a commitment to community led climate action.

We value transferable skills and welcome applicants from non-traditional or community-based backgrounds. Knowledge of the community energy sector and a commitment to social and climate justice would be valuable attributes for applicants.

We recognise that people from underrepresented and racially minoritised backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and others with intersecting experiences of marginalisation are underrepresented in the community energy and environmental sectors. We are committed to changing this and encourage applications from people with lived experience of marginalisation and those who can help us build a more inclusive and just energy future.

This is a full-time post for 37.5 hours a week, on a fixed term contract for the period 1st October 2026 to 31st July 2027.

We hope to secure funding to extend the post until 31st March 2028, and possibly beyond, but this is not guaranteed.

The post is funded by the National Lottery Climate Action Fund, Foundation Scotland and the Glasgow Climate Action Hub.

Selkirk Regeneration (SR) is a community charitable organisation with a broad remit to support the social, economic and environmental prosperity of Selkirk and its environs (TD7 postcode area). We have several well-established projects including developing a Local Place Plan with the community, delivery of the

Sustainable Borders energy advice service and managing a community pop-up shop in Selkirk High Street. We have investigated options for various community-owned renewable energy projects, including wind, solar and hydro, and most recently have led a feasibility study into a Local Energy Club as the most viable project in current circumstances. Selkirk Local Energy Club

The Selkirk Local Energy Club is a proposed community-led pilot that aims to help Selkirk make better use of renewable electricity generated locally. The club will use both domestic and business rooftop solar electricity generation to supply electricity to local households and businesses and community buildings on a local electricity tariff.

In simple terms, the model links local renewable generators with local households, businesses and community buildings that use electricity. The electricity still flows through the national energy grid, so members do not need a new physical connection to the generator. Instead, the Local Energy Club uses a commercial and billing arrangement to match local generation with local demand. When local renewable electricity is generated and used by participating members, members benefit from lower energy bills, while generators can receive a fairer return than standard export arrangements.

With external independent technical support, we have examined the feasibility of the project and developed a business plan; both demonstrate that this can be a realisable and viable scheme. Our next step is to establish a pilot scheme to convert this exciting vision into reality. We believe this will be the first distributed rooftop solar energy scheme in the Scottish Borders and will create a model that can be widely replicated by other communities.

The pilot will focus on moving from feasibility into live operation. This will involve commencing supply to participating members and monitoring the model over an initial 6-12 month period. The pilot will capture data on local electricity matching rates, bill savings, generator revenues, export performance, administrative costs and operational learning.

This evidence will be used to confirm that the Local Energy Club is technically, commercially and administratively viable, and whether it could be scaled up to include more members, more generators and wider community benefit activity in future.

Help shape the future of family support in West Lothian

Every parent wants the best for their family.

Sometimes life gets in the way.

At the Wise Group, we believe lasting change happens through trusted relationships, not quick fixes. We work alongside communities, employers and public services to connect support around people rather than expecting people to navigate complex systems alone. Through our Relational Mentoring approach, we're helping create stronger pathways into employment, financial wellbeing and healthier communities across Scotland.

We're looking for Mentors to join an exciting new whole-family employability programme across West Lothian, supporting parents experiencing multiple and interconnected barriers to build confidence, strengthen family wellbeing and move towards sustainable employment.

This is about much more than helping someone find a job.

You'll help families navigate complex systems, connect opportunities around the whole household and build the confidence, stability and relationships that make sustainable employment possible. Every family is different, so you'll take time to understand their aspirations, strengths and circumstances, helping coordinate the right support around them at the right time.

You won't be expected to have all the answers.

Your role is to bring together the right people, organisations and opportunities around each family. We don't replace existing services—we help people navigate them, engage with them and get the very best from them. That's what we mean by Relational Mentoring.

Every journey will be different.

One day you might be meeting a parent in their local community to understand what's preventing them from moving forward. Later you could be accompanying someone to a partner organisation, helping reconnect them with local support, introducing them to an employer or celebrating with a parent who's secured their first interview in years.

You'll become part of West Lothian's local support infrastructure, building trusted relationships with schools, employers, community organisations, family services, health partners and local groups so families experience one connected journey rather than multiple disconnected services.

What you'll do

• Build trusted, strengths-based relationships with parents experiencing multiple and interconnected barriers.

• Support families to identify their aspirations and take practical steps towards greater confidence, stability and sustainable employment.

• Use our Relational Mentoring approach to coordinate support around the whole family, helping people navigate services and opportunities.

• Work alongside parents across a wide range of issues including wellbeing, confidence, finances, housing, employability, family life and community connections.

• Advocate for families, helping remove barriers and ensuring support is joined up around individual needs.

• Build trusted relationships with schools, employers, community organisations, family services, health partners and local groups across West Lothian.

• Maintain an active caseload, celebrating meaningful progress and recording outcomes that matter to each family.

• Contribute to a supportive learning culture, sharing insight and helping continually improve how support is delivered across West Lothian.

What you'll bring

We're looking for people who genuinely enjoy building relationships and helping others recognise what's possible.

You don't need to have worked as a mentor before.

If you've supported people through challenging circumstances, can build trust quickly and believe in people's potential, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll also bring:

• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.

• A compassionate, curious and strengths-based approach.

• Confidence working alongside people experiencing complex or changing circumstances.

• The ability to encourage, motivate and appropriately challenge people to achieve their goals.

• Strong organisational and digital skills, including Microsoft 365 and CRM systems.

• The ability to manage a varied caseload while working independently.

• Curiosity, systems thinking and the ability to connect people, organisations and opportunities around families.

• Confidence navigating complexity, building partnerships and working collaboratively across organisational boundaries.

• Experience within family support, community development, employability, education, housing, health, social care, youth work, wellbeing or similar environments is advantageous but not essential.

• Knowledge of West Lothian communities and local support services would be highly desirable.

Essential requirements

• Full driving licence and access to a vehicle for regular travel across West Lothian.

• Willingness to work flexibly across communities and partner locations.

• Home broadband to support flexible working.

• Successful PVG Scheme membership.

Why join us?

You'll be joining a values-led social enterprise that's helping shape the future of public services.

Rather than delivering isolated programmes, we work alongside communities, employers and partners to create stronger, more connected pathways that help people overcome poverty and build better futures.

You'll receive training in our Relational Mentoring approach, ongoing professional development and the opportunity to become part of a supportive, ambitious team that's passionate about improving lives.

This is your opportunity to help shape a brand-new programme from the very beginning while contributing to something much bigger—the future of whole-family support, place-based working and connected public services.

Help shape the future of support in West Lothian

This isn't just a mentoring role. It's an opportunity to help redesign how support works around families and communities.

Join a team that's helping families navigate complexity, connecting services around the whole household and building stronger pathways into sustainable employment.

Together we're not simply delivering a service—we're helping create a better way for communities, employers and public services to work together.
