The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is seeking to appoint a new external member to its Audit and Risk Committee (ARC). This is an opportunity to contribute independent expertise to one of the UK’s leading art and design institutions and deepen your non-executive and governance experience.

About Glasgow School of Art

Founded in 1845 as one of the UK’s first government-supported schools of design, the GSA can trace its lineage to the 1750s and the establishment, during the Scottish Enlightenment, of the Foulis Academy, the UK’s first school of art.

Over 270 years later, we remain an independent school of art and are ranked as one of the top art and design schools in the world.

About the Role

The Audit and Risk Committee plays a key role in supporting the Board of Governors by providing assurance on the effectiveness of the School’s financial systems, internal control environment, and risk management arrangements.

This appointment is intended to strengthen the Committee’s collective expertise, particularly in audit and finance.

The successful candidate will:

• provide independent professional insight and constructive challenge in the context of the Audit and Risk Committee;
• review audit reports, financial statements, accounting policies and the risk register as part of the work of the Audit and Risk Committee;
• contribute to the work of the Audit and Risk Committee in a manner that supports strong governance, regulatory compliance and effective risk oversight;
• be a full voting member of the Audit and Risk Committee

Focused on the work of the Audit and Risk Committee, this role does not involve membership of the Board of Governors and carries no wider Board responsibilities. The Audit and Risk Committee Remit and Membership can be located here for information.

Time Commitment

• Attendance at 3-4 meetings annually (normally held via video conference between November and May) – attendance at in-person meetings is not normally required but may exceptionally be requested
• Approximately 16 hours per year, which includes time to read committee papers and to prepare for meetings

Skills and Experience

We are particularly interested in candidates with strong experience in the following:

• Accountancy / Finance (e.g., qualified accountant or senior financial leadership)
• Audit and assurance - ability to interpret audit reports and financial information
• Risk management in a complex or regulated environment

Any application should make it clear where the applicant’s skills and experience meets one or more of these areas.

In addition, experience in public, third sector or education governance is desirable but not essential.

Person Specification

Candidates should meet at least one of the areas specified in Skills and Experience (above) and demonstrate:

• high standards of integrity and professionalism
• strong analytical skills and sound judgement
• confidence in contributing to senior-level discussions
• commitment to the Seven Principles of Public Life: Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty and Leadership

Applications from first-time non-executives are welcome, provided candidates understand the nature of the governance role and can demonstrate that they are ready to contribute at that level.

Diversity

The GSA encourages applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, belief or disability. As those from an ethnic minority background and disabled people are currently under‑represented on the Board, applications from individuals within these groups would be particularly encouraged. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the organisation may employ positive action where candidates from underrepresented groups can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well. More on the GSA's commitment to Equality can be found here.

Remuneration

External committee members are not remunerated but the GSA will reimburse reasonable expenses including travel costs should attendance be required.

Who we are

Reeltime Music is a creative youth work charity supporting disadvantaged young people through music and the creative industries. We work in partnership to deliver high-quality workshops, projects, volunteering opportunities, and recording and rehearsal services across North Lanarkshire.

The role

As Project Officer, you will work closely with our CEO to coordinate externally funded, organisational-level projects that support Reeltime Music’s strategic ambitions.

In this role, “project” means funded programmes (e.g. Creative Scotland awards, local authority contracts, targeted funder initiatives) rather than short-term blocks of tutor-led workshops. You’ll help turn strategy into delivery, ensuring projects are well-planned, well-evidenced, and aligned with our long-term goals.

Your work will directly contribute to delivering meaningful, high-quality impact for young people and the wider community.

What you’ll do

• Coordinate externally funded projects, ensuring agreed outcomes and outputs are delivered
• Translate strategic plans into clear project plans, schedules, and workflows
• Liaise with funders, partners, tutors, and volunteers to support effective delivery
• Gather monitoring and evaluation data and produce high-quality reports for funders, the CEO, and board
• Track project budgets and support financial reporting
• Uphold safeguarding, equality, and data protection standards across all activity

About you

• Experience coordinating externally funded projects or programmes
• Strong organisational and project management skills
• Confident communicator, able to work closely with senior leaders and external partners
• Comfortable with reporting, monitoring, and evidencing impact
• Aligned with Reeltime Music’s values of respect, collaboration, creativity, and integrity

Why join us?

• Flexible and family-friendly working
• Meaningful work that creates real impact for young people
• Supportive, values-driven organisation
• 32 days leave (pro-rata), including public holidays
• Real Living Wage employer

Following the launch of our new strategy in 2025 and the continued expansion of our services for young people, we are investing further in our fundraising capacity through the recruitment of a new Community & Corporate Fundraiser Role. As an organisation, we have traditionally relied heavily on grants and trusts as our main source of income. While this will remain an important funding stream, we are now looking to diversify our income by increasing support from community fundraising, events, and corporate partnerships. At this important stage of growth, we are also keen to raise the profile and awareness of U-evolve and the impact of our work supporting young people’s mental health.

This is a new role, offering a real opportunity to shape and develop sustainable income streams, create meaningful fundraising opportunities, and make a tangible impact on the future of our services. Working alongside our Fundraising Lead — who focuses primarily on grants and trusts — you will play a key part in generating income through community fundraising initiatives, events, and corporate sponsorship. Responsibilities will include planning and managing a calendar of fundraising events, identifying opportunities to raise awareness of U-evolve within local communities, delivering talks and presentations to encourage support, and developing and managing sponsorship relationships.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about improving young people’s mental health and who genuinely connects with our mission and values. You will have:

• Experience in fundraising, ideally including community fundraising, events, or corporate partnerships
• Experience working directly with young people and/or within mental health or a related field or an understanding of the challenges young people face today.
• Experience in building networks or contacts that could support awareness-raising, partnerships or fundraising activity.
• Confidence in building relationships and representing U-evolve externally
• Excellent interpersonal skills with a friendly and approachable manner.

Above all, we are looking for someone who shares our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and who is excited by the opportunity to contribute to the growth and impact of our work.
