Are you passionate about making a difference to your local community? Willing and able to give up some of your valuable time to work with a Charity who has a social ethos and values to make a difference to the local communities we serve? Then we would like you to consider applying to join the Community Transport Glasgow’s (CTG) Board as a Director.
CTG is a Charity and Company Ltd by Guarantee that was established with aims to provide relief to communities of Glasgow and the surrounding area who are in need due to age, mobility and mental and physical disability, illness and poverty.
This is achieved by providing services including affordable, reliable and accessible transport solutions to the local communities of Glasgow and the surrounding area. This includes older adults, those with mobility issues and disabilities. We provide transport solutions to over 75,000 passengers a year.
We are looking to expand our Board to enable us to draw upon a wider pool of expertise, knowledge and ideas as we look to take CTG to the next level. Key skills and experience we are looking for include those with lived experience, current member groups and individuals, academic and research, strategic stakeholders, finance, HR, marketing and community engagement.
Becoming a volunteer Board member is not just about what you can offer CTG. It is a rewarding experience that includes enhancing your leadership and governance skills, broadening your network, raising your profile and learning new skills.
Glasgow Watersports Ltd (Pinkston) is now 10 years old. Our charity is a unique social enterprise, urban sports hub for the community and a thriving legacy project from Glasgow 2014.
We are home to Scotland’s only artificial white-water course, supporting paddlesports and rescue service training nationally. We offer meeting and training rooms, a full delivery programme aimed at schools, clubs and uniformed groups, storage for clubs, colleges and businesses who focus on paddlesports, and a growing offering to the general public.
Our sealed canal basin has bathing quality water, and we aim to continue to increase participation across our communities. We have a fully accessible pontoon, and an ever-widening range of services aimed at many different groups across the city.
We are currently looking to recruit to our volunteer Board. Our volunteer commitment is around 4 hours per month, which will include a Board meeting approximately every 2 months. We have a fantastic and broad range of skills represented but we are keen to build on this with sales/marketing skills, charity, HR or with a construction/engineering background. We would particularly welcome applications from younger people and people living in our local community. Of course, Pinkston is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes inclusion and diversity.
Poverty and inequality are the greatest challenges Scotland faces. The Poverty Alliance is working to create a wide coalition that can bring about real change. As our network in Scotland continues to grow, we have created a new role in our senior management team to support and manage the sustained development of our organisation.
As a result of the continued growth and development of the Poverty Alliance, we have created the post of Director of Operations. This is an important new development for the Poverty Alliance, one that will play a key role in ensuring we have the resources and policies in place to enable us to deliver on our purpose of supporting the prevention and reduction of poverty by building a strong network that influences policy and changes practice.
We are looking for someone who has significant experience at a senior leadership level, with a sound understanding of operational management and project and service development. You will not only have experience in budgetary management, but a strong track record in income generation. We will need someone who is focused on securing ambitious outcomes and impact, particularly in a social change context.
The Director of Operations will play a critical role in continuing to develop our approach to agile working and will have experience of ensuring continuous improvement and innovation is at the heart of organisational development. You will have commitment to inclusive working, and knowledge of policy and practice in relation to diversity, inclusion and equality.
The Poverty Alliance is a values and mission-driven organisation. We bring together hundreds of organisations who share our desire to see an end to poverty, and a Scotland where everyone can flourish. If you share that desire to bring about real social change, then we would love to hear from you.
