CTG is a charity and company limited by guarantee and was established to provide relief to communities of Glasgow and its environs, who are in need due to age, mobility, mental and physical disability, illness and poverty. This is achieved by providing affordable, reliable, accessible transport solutions to the local communities we serve. CTG is one of the largest Community Transport Charities in Scotland.
Since March 2020, CTG has been working in collaborative partnerships with a range of organisations in Glasgow Food Programme to tackle the growing issue of food poverty. During the Covid-19 crisis, CTG was identified as an anchor organisation due to being an experienced transport provider with a remit to develop partnerships with other Third, Community and Commercial Sectors to assist with transport and logistic challenges.
One of the key collaborative partnerships developed was with the Scottish Pantry Network. This partnership has developed with CTG providing both passenger and non passenger transport solutions to the Network and its member Pantries throughout Glasgow.
Both organisations are continuing to work in partnership as we look to develop a long-term sustainable strategic partnership. Part of this is to develop a supplier and logistics framework for the pantry model to get more food into the surplus supply chain to help stop food going to landfill and to ensure the pantries are fully stocked so that people can access low cost healthy food.
Therefore, we are recruiting a Supplier Development Officer to be part of our team. The Officer will work closely with the Scottish Pantry Network.
If you like the sound of this challenge and want to be part of something that makes a difference to people’s life, have a good understanding of food poverty and insecurity, able to work across a number of partners and have project development skills, then we’d love to hear from you.
COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on society both in terms of health and also the economy. As we begin to come out of lockdown there are going to be a number of challenges in relation to the provision and access of transport post COVID-19
As part of CTG’s recovery plan, due to the impact of COVID-19 both on the organisation and the communities we serve, CTG is in the process of diversifying its activities to support and enhance the transport solutions it provides. Part of this is to develop a Training and Learning Centre, building on CTG’s current training activities, with an employability pathway programme at the heart of this development.
The development of the employability pathway programme will develop a model for unemployed people, particularly young people, to gain skills, qualifications and employment in the transport industry.
Therefore, we are recruiting an Employability Officer to be part of our team. As well as developing, implementing and overseeing the pathway, this role will work with colleagues to develop the Training and Learning Centre, ensuring that the employability pathway is embedded into the development.
