Make a difference in Scotland's Gypsy/Traveller communities

MECOPP (Minority Ethnic Carers of People Project) is Scotland's leading Black and Minority Ethnic carers' organisation. We work to reduce inequalities, improve access to culturally responsive services, and support some of the most marginalised communities across Scotland.

Thanks to funding from the Scottish Government's Gambling Levy, we have established our new Better Wellbeing Service, designed to address gambling harms, improve wellbeing, and strengthen support for Gypsy/Traveller individuals, families and communities.

We are now seeking passionate, committed individuals to join our growing team and help deliver this innovative and impactful service across Scotland.

This role will lead community development activities, raise awareness of gambling harms, build partnerships, facilitate groups and workshops, and support individuals and communities to identify and achieve personal and collective goals. The successful candidate will have experience in community development, outreach, partnership working and supporting marginalised communities.

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 role is currently funded until the end of March 2027.
