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. The role does not carry strategic responsibility or line management, but provides essential coordination infrastructure that enables high-quality, community-led cultural activity to take place sustainably.

This post contributes directly to Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective priorities by strengthening place-based cultural infrastructure and ensuring creative practitioners are fairly recruited, contracted, supported, and paid.

About Clan Childlaw

Clan Childlaw stands with children and young people when they stand up for their rights.

Clan is an award-winning, independent children’s charity that actively supports children and young people to take ownership of their rights.

We are the only charity in Scotland that provides free, independent legal representation exclusively for children and young people, which is child-centred by design. Because our lawyers work directly with children and young people whose lives are affected by legal decisions, we bring that unique practice-based knowledge to every aspect of our work. This includes our specialist training, our helpline supporting others who help children to use their voices and their rights, and our work to influence children’s rights respecting changes to practice, policy and law.

What We Do

We stand with others who help children use their rights – Through our membership and training for legal professionals and in legal education we are making being a “children’s lawyer” an accredited legal skill set in Scotland. Our practical training and helpline and support for advocacy in Children’s Hearings provides adults that support children and young people information and guidance that they can use to empower young people to stand up for their rights.

We stand out through the excellence of our work – We want our work to have as much impact as possible. We listen to what children and young people tell us about what they need from lawyers and others who support them to use their rights. We use what we learn to develop and design the services they need and talk about why young people’s rights matter, and why children and young people need lawyers.

We stand for change – We are lawyers for children and young people representing children and young people in court, at Children’s Hearings, and in important meetings working to give them equal opportunity to heard and use their rights. We take cases that make change for individual children and young people and help shape better rights respecting policy and practice. We use our knowledge of the law, and experience as practising lawyers for children and young people, to ask decision makers and lawmakers to change the law and the way the law is used to make sure that children and young people's rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.

Our Values

Our values are the principles we uphold in all our work, no matter what. They are the foundation of our workplace culture. Everyone who works at Clan shows our values in all they do and say.

We are supportive: We listen and respond, we provide encouragement and emotional help to children and young people, to others who support young people, and to each other.

We are bold: We are confident and courageous in amplifying the voices of children and young people. We are prepared to take risks when we need to, to defend children and young people’s rights.

We are dynamic: We are always active, always progressing. We are positive, full of energy and new ideas. We ask for change where it is needed.

What we can offer you

Clan Childlaw’s mission is very important to us, but our people are important too. We recognise the importance of a good work-life balance and a friendly supportive work environment. We offer:

• 33 days annual leave (inclusive of public holidays) increasing to 35 after 2 years’ service
