Imagine not being able to say a dignified final farewell to a loved one because the cost of a funeral is beyond you or your family’s financial means – this is funeral poverty. Funeral Link (SC048691) was founded in 2018 and is committed to making funerals affordable in Tayside. Funeral Link staff believe in the intrinsic worth of each individual and seek to act in the interests of wholeness for those who have lost a loved one. In April 2026, Funeral Link will move into a new public facility.

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 184 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.

In 2024 we developed a business plan laying out our strategy for growing the community energy sector in Glasgow over the next 5 years, and have been successful in securing funding to support this.

Over this period we aim to develop and install 1-2 Megawatts of new community-owned rooftop solar panel projects and develop a strategy for larger-scale projects, while also engaging deeply with communities in Glasgow to ensure they are in control of developing, owning and benefitting from these projects.

During 2025 we appointed a Development Manager and Engagement Co-ordinator as our first two members of staff. They have been working alongside our volunteer Board to lay the foundations for this work, and we are now seeking a Project Assistant to work with them as we move into an exciting new phase of project delivery.

Overview of the role:

As a small organisation in a start-up environment the Project Assistant role will be varied and have input across different areas. The job is an opportunity to be involved in a wide range of exciting pieces of work, and will include providing admin and project support to the team in the following projects we are working on:

• A series of workshops to develop and deliver the Cathy McCormack Community Activism Fund which will equitably distribute the future proceeds from community energy in Glasgow.
• Events and workshops with local community groups on how to develop community energy projects in different communities across Glasgow, as well as our Annual General Meeting in March and other public events.
• The development and operation of a new open-membership system and promoting this to target groups to help us become a more diverse and inclusive organisation.
• Building partnerships with building owners in the public, community and commercial sectors to get more rooftop solar projects off the ground.
• Developing opportunities for other community-owned energy projects across Glasgow.
• Refining and improving existing admin systems and establishing new ones where needed.

This role is ideal for someone with experience working in an administrative and/or support role in the non-profit sector who has excellent attention to detail, very strong organisational and IT skills, experience in social media, marketing and design, 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. Support and development opportunities will be provided.

We recognise that people from underrepresented and racial minority 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 part-time post for 3 days a week, on a fixed term contract for the period 1st February 2026 to 31st December 2026. The post is partly dependent upon funding that is not yet finalised but that we are confident of securing. We also hope to secure funding to continue the post beyond this period but this is not guaranteed.
