The Work Room is seeking new Board Trustees

We are seeking 4 – 5 people to join our Board of Trustees to support The Work Room in its mission to empower artists in making thoughtful and pioneering dance for diverse contexts at home and internationally.

Our Trustees include artist-members of The Work Room as well as people who bring expertise and experience from other sectors to our governance.

"The support offered by The Work Room is vital in these precarious times. Whether it be through advocacy, one-on-one advice or international exchange; residencies, bursaries or yearlong peer-supported research; The Work Room ensures that artists continue their work and that the Scottish dance sector remains vibrant and relevant. The impact of The Work Room is inspiring. Yet equally inspiring is the deeply embedded ethos of the organisation and the meaningful engagement with members that shapes how decisions are made and programmes are developed." - Kirsty Alexander, Co-Chair & TWR Member

Who we are looking for?

As a registered charity, The Work Room’s board of trustees are legally and ethically responsible for governing the organisation. The board includes artists from our membership as well as people who bring their experience from other areas of work. Collectively they support the strategic vision and leadership of the charity and ensure The Work Room remains true to its values, relevant to our artist communities, is well managed and financially sustainable.

The Work Room operates with a small, efficient and experienced staff team. We practice an alternative leadership model in the performing arts; one that embraces multiplicity rather than being focused on a singular artistic vision. Our approach leans into the collective; actively distributing power, shared agency & collegiate decision-making. A commitment to this, rather than traditional hierarchical dynamics, is critical for staff & trustees.

We’d love to hear from you if you share our values and are:

• Keen to generously share your experience and skills to support our work with independent dance artists;
• Committed to working inclusively to ensure our work is accessible and relevant;
• Interested in experimentation and new ideas as we respond to current and future challenges.

Some of the skills and knowledge that would be useful include:

• Organisational culture and HR;
• Research and Higher Education;
• Ethical and fair working practices;
• Experience and knowledge in dance, across different styles & genres;
• Communications
• Digital working and new technologies.

You don’t need to have previous experience of being on a board and for many of our existing trustees, this has been their first experience in such a role. The Trustees work collectively and you will be provided a full induction to help you understand the role and responsibilities of being a charity trustee. We also encourage trustees to undertake training opportunities which guide on best practice in governance.

These are voluntary roles with travel and access costs covered. We are committed to putting in place any access support required to enable full participation in board meetings, including childcare costs, providing BSL interpretation for meetings or providing information in different formats. We also want to make sure our board is made up of a diverse range of intersectional identities and experiences.

What the role involves

The role of the Board of Trustees is to support the work of The Work Room and provide leadership and strategic governance, in line with the core purpose and policies of the company.

The Work Room is a charity, and our board of trustees are guided by the guidance and good practice provided by the Office of Scottish Charity Regulator. OSCR (Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) The board usually meets four times a year online and at an annual in-person away day. In addition to this we have an AGM (Annual General Meeting) of all members, and board members may get involved in events, training or on sub-committees focused on specific areas of work.

In preparation for these meetings and to enable us to move decisions forward there is also in between work anticipated such as reviewing board papers including financial reports. A key aspect of the role is to build a collegiate working relationship with The Work Room staff team and other board members contributing to collective and considered decision making.

We consider key qualities of board member include:

• Asking questions and participating in discussions leading to collective decision making;
• The ability to act discreetly and to respect confidentiality;
• A genuine interest in and commitment to The Work Room’s work, dance and artists as leaders;
• A willingness to learn about the wider context in which The Work Room is situated.

About Generations Working Together

Generations Working Together is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. Our mission is to develop, expand and improve IG practice nationwide. Our vision is to live in a Scotland where different generations are more connected, where everyone has opportunities to build relationships that help to create a more inclusive society.

Intergenerational work means relationship-based projects, activities and events where people of different generations, who might not otherwise meet, do things together in positive and creative ways. It includes any activities which purposefully ignore, remove or break down social, environmental, cultural or institutional barriers between generations e.g. ageism, making spaces for older & younger people to meet naturally, get to know each other, share ideas, pass on &/or learn new skills, work together to identify solutions to problems, addressing challenges in their communities, all the while forging relationships and friendships.

An intergenerational lens can also be applied to the workplace which can now have up to five generational cohorts within. Organisations are considering the impact of this and are questioning whether they have the right policies, processes and ethos in place to support their diverse expectations. Applying an intergenerational lens to the workplace provides an opportunity to consider the benefits that come from diverse generational groups.

As a membership and capacity-building organisation, GWT operate locally and nationally raising awareness, sharing and expanding knowledge and understanding of intergenerational practice and its impact. We provide training and wide-ranging resources and organise learning events and facilitate local and thematic networking opportunities, to enable high quality intergenerational activity to take root on the ground & flourish. GWT lead and deliver pilot projects to support and encourage the development and delivery of intergenerational practice in new settings. We also participate in research projects and scan relevant research taking place across the world for distilling and sharing with our members and others.

A short film narrated by our retired chair Alan Hatton-Yeo MBE can be viewed here on our YouTube channel detailing our history and the background of intergenerational work and its growth in the UK.

Hear from our volunteer Trustees below:

Q.What is it like to be a volunteer Trustee?

A. “Volunteering with GWT this past few years has let me see the value of intergenerational practice in many arenas of life. It has given me greater insight into the passionate practice out there and also the resource and specialism required to support it to be done in ever more meaningful and measurable ways. I have loved the opportunity so far of being part of a Board with such great diversity of age and experience.” (Trustee)

A.“My experience volunteering as a Trustee for GWT over the past nine years has been both rewarding personally and beneficial professionally. Exposure to the Governance and Compliance aspects of Trusteeship has been useful supporting my role as a senior manager within a private sector business, while the opportunity to present to workshops and conferences has been invaluable experience of public speaking. Additionally, working alongside the other Trustees and GWT staff who have a wealth of diverse and in-depth experience has been extremely useful from a professional development perspective. From a personal perspective, being able to give my time to support a cause which is increasingly important to society overall and impacts on the lives of everyone I know is rewarding and well worth the investment in time.” (Trustee)

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.

Do you have a passion for powerful storytelling? Are you confident building relationships with journalists and identifying opportunities to raise awareness of important issues? Do you understand the role that media plays in shaping public understanding of homelessness and social exclusion?

If so, this new role in our Marketing & Communications team could be for you.

About Cyrenians

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We take a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services because we understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures.

About the Marketing & Communications Team

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Cyrenians, with those we support and those who support us too.

The Media and Stories Officer will join our Relationships team, which brings together fundraising, marketing and communications, press and public affairs. With ambitious fundraising targets, 47 frontline services and homelessness prevention firmly on the public agenda, it's an exciting time to join our team.

Our Marketing & Communications team works across the organisation to raise awareness of our services, support fundraising, engage colleagues, amplify the voices of those we support and position Cyrenians as a trusted expert in homelessness prevention.

About the Role

This newly created role will lead on Cyrenians’ media relations activity while supporting the wider team to identify and develop compelling stories from across our services.

Working closely with the Communications and Policy Manager and Marketing and Communications Officers, you'll take the lead on both proactive and reactive media engagement. You'll write and distribute press releases, coordinate media opportunities, develop relationships with journalists and identify opportunities for Cyrenians to contribute to public conversations around homelessness and social exclusion.

You'll also play a key role in working with colleagues, volunteers and people accessing our services to uncover and share stories that demonstrate the impact of Cyrenians' work. This requires sensitivity, sound judgement and a commitment to ensuring stories are shared ethically and with dignity.

About You

You'll have experience in media, public relations, communications or a similar field and be an excellent communicator who can quickly spot a story and turn it into engaging content for media audiences.

You'll be confident building relationships with journalists and responding to media enquiries, while remaining calm and professional when working to deadlines.

Like us, you'll be values-led and relationship-focused in everything you do.

How We'll Support You

Working closely with colleagues across fundraising, policy, communications and frontline services, you'll be warmly supported by people who share your passion for tackling homelessness and its root causes. Cyrenians is a place where people quickly feel at home, and we want your experience with us to be as rewarding and enjoyable as possible.

You will be supported to attend training and networking opportunities to deepen your understanding of homelessness, social exclusion, media relations and ethical communications practice.
