Amina Muslim Women's Resource Centre (Amina MWRC) is an intersectional organisation, by and for women, dedicated to empowering Muslim and Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) women in Scotland by giving them opportunities to have their voices heard and to improve their skills and become more confident in participating in their own communities and at a wider level.

Founded in 2001 on the principles of community development, our work is underpinned by community empowerment, participation and partnership working. Amina MWRC envisions an inclusive world where Muslim and BME women fulfil their aspirations, striving for inclusivity and societal fairness.

Job Role

The role aims to increase the employability prospects of Muslim, Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) women. The Employability Project Officer will engage with, empower, and support Muslim and BME women of all backgrounds, skills, and abilities via provision of our holistic, tailored employability support service.

Muslim and BME women face additional barriers to work and so a flexible and creative approach will be required. As well as individual action planning, the Officer will support individuals with job search, CV building, job applications and interview techniques.
