Sistema Scotland’s vision is to improve lives and strengthen communities. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change. By playing music together in ensembles and orchestras, we aim to grow confidence, respect, teamwork and aspiration in the children, young people and communities we work with.

We deliver our work through six Big Noise programmes in Douglas in Dundee, Raploch & Fallin in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow, Torry in Aberdeen and Wester Hailes in Edinburgh.

This is an exciting opportunity for an Operations Administrator to join the team in Big Noise Douglas (Dundee).

Working alongside an administrator, you will support the Senior Team and Operations Manager at Big Noise Douglas, providing excellent operational support, procedures and processes to ensure the continued safety, success and growth of the programme. You will also have lead responsibility for operational support at Big Noise Douglas delivery spaces. In addition, you have face to face engagement with adults and children at after-school club, ensuring a smooth-running signing in and out procedure.

You will be an experienced administrator, ideally with line management experience, who possesses a high level of initiative and problem solving, and can maintain confidentiality and discretion. You will have experience of working as part of a team and managing internal & external relationships in a high-pressured environment, along with excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage a high-pressure workload. You will lead on general communications with parents and volunteers, so you must also be an effective communicator with both adults and children. Experience of implementing and managing office & building management systems & procedures is also required.

This post is offered on a permanent, all year-round basis, working 4 days (28 hours) per week, Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm.

We believe our people should represent the communities we work with. That’s why we are committed to being an inclusive employer and a great place to work. We recognise and celebrate the fact that our people come from diverse backgrounds. We positively welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities or longstanding health conditions, people who are LGBTQ+, and people from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds, as well as people of all ages.

Boom! Community Arts are currently seeking new volunteers to join our Board of Trustees.

In line with our new 2026-2029 strategy, and following a skills audit of the current board, we would be particularly interested to talk to those with any of the following skills & experience:

• Developing membership programmes
• Community / Participatory Arts (practice or management, including regulatory framework)
• Social enterprise models / non-grant-related income generation
• Marketing
• Organisational growth

In addition, experience of comms, data management/data protection, finance, and a connection to North Glasgow would also be of value.

About Boom!

Boom! is a small charity working primarily in the North of Glasgow, delivering community art workshops and engaging in local events. Our mission, to“engage with communities to deliver creative, exciting, and accessible arts projects that enrich lives and strengthen communities”is underpinned by our values: Creativity, Working Together, Respect, Fun, and Quality.

We engage a small pool of freelance artists to deliver this work, which currently centres around three regular workshop strands (for both adults and young people), and participation in community events. Our freelance administrative staff (total 0.6 FTE) work to support delivery, fundraise, and contribute to our drive to develop new earned income streams.

About our Board

Our existing Board of four are committed, engaged, and have been with the charity since its inception in 2017; we recognise the need for, and welcome, fresh eyes and perspectives. As a small charity which has grown organically and with an eye toward sustainability, we are at a key point in our development as we seek to grow the reach and capacity of the organisation.

Expected commitment

Board meetings take place either in-person in North Glasgow or online, four times per year, and board members also contribute to or oversee other ongoing areas of work including finance, policy and strategy development, safeguarding, and project ideation. Our Chair is regularly an Elf in our annual Santa’s Saunter.

We hope that any potential candidates could commit to a 2-3 year term, and could be involved in progressing pieces of work between board meetings.

North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) is entering a significant phase of organisational development, with access to a new community-owned building, a long-term lease of Milton Community Garden, and the launch of a community food truck in early 2026. These assets present a major opportunity to develop social enterprise activity and earned income that supports long-term financial sustainability.

The Income Generation & Partnerships Manager is a fixed-term, two-year development role. The purpose of the role is to design, test, and embed sustainable income-generation models linked to NGCFI’s assets, ensuring that successful approaches can continue beyond the funding period.

This role is focused on social enterprise development, partnership building, and business planning, and is separate from core frontline service delivery.
