Who we are

Signpost International works to eradicate poverty and suffering in all forms. We partner with local organisations and communities globally to deliver sustainable, community-led programmes based on expressed needs, regardless of race or religion. Our work focuses on four key areas: food security, sustainable livelihoods, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and global citizenship.

In Dundee, we tackle food waste and insecurity by turning surplus food into meals—over 44,000 since 2021—distributed via foodbanks and larders. We run growing and cooking workshops to help children and community groups build skills and confidence, and provide food and activities during school holidays. We are also finalising our Centre for Sustainable Learning in Dundee to educate and inspire future generations to tackle poverty, challenge injustice, and protect the environment.

The role

This is an exciting new initiative creating real opportunities for young people in Dundee. The project offers a chance to learn and develop food and hospitality skills in a real-life café setting, while contributing to a more sustainable and connected community.

At The Roundhouse, we take surplus food from local farms, allotments, and supermarkets to create community meals that go back into the community through local larders and food banks. We are committed to working with the community to build a sustainable, inclusive, and affordable café that not only supports young people seeking alternative career pathways but also helps reduce food waste and strengthens local engagement.

We’re looking for a creative, organised, and community-minded Café Supervisor and hospitality trainer to lead our community café and support local teens in developing real-world hospitality skills. This unique role combines hands-on café management with youth mentoring and training.

You’ll oversee the day-to-day running of the café, work alongside young people as they gain experience in customer service, food preparation, and teamwork, and help shape a supportive learning environment that builds confidence and employability. You’ll be an enthusiastic and driven individual who enjoys working with young people and sharing your passion for food and hospitality. You’ll be organised, adaptable, and able to balance the dual responsibilities of running a café and supporting a learning environment.

About Us

Baltic Street Adventure Playground (BSAP) is a free, child-led adventure playground in Glasgow’s East End. We’re a democratic space where children make decisions about what happens each day through play, exploration, and creativity. We provide free meals, snacks, and a welcoming community environment that supports freedom, confidence, and wellbeing.

The Role

We’re looking for a Playworker to join our team, taking a lead role in our Afterschool Project. The project collects children from local schools and walks them safely to Baltic Street Adventure Playground, where they take part in free play, creative activities, games, and outdoor fun until collected by their parents or carers.

In addition to supporting the Afterschool Project, the role will also include working on the playground as a Playworker during regular opening hours, contributing to the wider day-to-day running of the site and supporting children’s play across all sessions.

You’ll play an important part in ensuring the project and playground run safely and smoothly while supporting children to explore, make choices, and lead their own play.

First Step is a community-based organisation working directly with families and young children in the early years. We support parents to build confidence, strengthen relationships and create a nurturing environment for their children.

We are seeking a motivated, self-starting Fundraising Officer, who will be central to the growth and sustainability of First Step’s work. You will lead on securing funding and developing new projects that respond to the needs of families with young children.

With excellent communication skills, you will work closely with the Project Manager and the Strategic Board to shape and deliver innovative, community led initiatives that make a real difference to the lives of children and their families. This includes identifying funding opportunities, writing compelling bids and building strong relationships with funders and partners.

Using your creativity, you will also be responsible for raising awareness of First Step’s services through events, presentations, marketing materials, and managing social media and website content. We’re looking for a versatile individual who communicates effectively at all levels, writes clearly, collaborates well with others, and can work independently when needed.
