The South East Integration Network (SEIN) is an active network of community groups and organisations which work across the south east of Glasgow providing services & activities which celebrate diversity & support community integration. Our vision is to foster a positive, cohesive community, free from discrimination and racism in which people from all backgrounds and cultures are valued and equally able to participate in the community. We connect our member groups & organisations through monthly meetings and digital platforms; supporting their work, sharing what they are doing & encouraging partnerships.

Role:

Sharing information, in an engaging & accessible manner, is central to the work of SEIN & feedback from our members tells us how much this is valued. The Communications Assistant will support our Communications & Engagement Coordinator to keep our website up to date (including adding new opportunities, and member information), help to keep our social media channels active with relevant & engaging content and support with the development of promotional materials. One of their core tasks will be to collate our fortnightly newsletter; this includes pulling together information from our members & others about what’s happening locally & presenting this in an easy-to-read way.

The post-holder should share the values of SEIN & should be able to demonstrate the ability to work well in a small team.

The Communications Assistant will be managed by the SEIN Development Manager, with supervision & support from the SEIN Communications & Engagement Coordinator.

Would you like the opportunity to develop your experience in the community sector?

Do you live, work or are well connected in the south east of Glasgow?

Do you support our aims to build a community across the south east of Glasgow which is actively welcoming, inclusive, and anti-racist?

We’re looking for a new Chair to join the South East Integration Network board of trustees.

In this role, you will help shape the direction of the network and support SEIN to achieve its aims; connecting SEIN members, and furthering community integration activity in the south east of Glasgow (read Our Mission).

Becoming the new Chair

Now is an exciting time to become the Chair of SEIN as the organisation enters a new phase with active and growing membership. We have recently completed our 3 year strategy and welcomed 2 new board members.

What we can offer our new Chair

• Support and guidance from our current interim chair (who is staying on the board)
• External mentoring from the Cranfield Trust
• Training and development opportunities, particularly around leadership and charity governance.

Time Commitment

Time commitment is a big question for most people when thinking about joining a board; especially in the role of Chair. We hope that the time you give to SEIN will be rewarding and beneficial to you, however, we will do our best to make sure the role can work around your life, work and other commitments.

We would like the SEIN board to reflect the diversity of the network, and welcome interest and applications from people from all ages, stages and backgrounds. If you are interested but feel you have specific barriers to taking on this role, please let us know so we can talk about how we can address these and make it possible for you.
