Govanhill Community Development Trust promotes the social, economic and environmental regeneration of Govanhill. We do this through the provision of affordable workspaces locally and a programme of community development activity. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Govanhill Housing Association – a community controlled Registered Social Landlord operating in the Govanhill and Merrylee areas of Glasgow. The Association owns and manages 2,800 homes and provides a Factoring Service to a further 1,400 owners. It has a substantial Development, Major Repairs and Planned Maintenance Programme and delivers wider regeneration activity in partnership with Govanhill Community Development Trust.
We are seeking a dynamic individual to support people looking for work by providing employability advice and assisting them to access opportunities for volunteering, work placements and training.
Central to the role will be support for a caseload of individuals at different stages of work readiness. Many local residents face additional barriers to work and so a flexible and creative approach will be required. As well as individual action planning, the postholders will support individuals with job search, CV building, job applications and interview techniques. They will also provide some in-work support and engage with local employers and organisations to identify opportunities. Postholders will also work with colleagues in GCDT and Govanhill Housing Association to ensure that a full package of support can be put in place for local people to improve their education, health, housing, awareness of local services and social connections. A positive, team-based approach will therefore be required with a focus on providing high quality standards of service.
This is a new role which is initially funded to end March 2026 but with the possibility of extension for two further years. The postholders will be joining a supportive and dynamic team of community-based workers who are committed to improving the quality of life for local people.
