Role
Established in 1999, The Pavillion (Greater Easterhouse) is a community youth organisation that provides a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for young people from primary 1 upwards, with most activities having historically focused on children and young people aged up to 18 but now with an increasing focus on whole family, whole community activities. Everything that we do aims to inspire our participants, raise their aspirations, help them to address the challenges that they face and encourage their development as young people.
The core of Pavillion’s service offer is a drop-in service for Mini’s, Junior’s, and Senior’s. While attending these sessions, young people take part in a wide range of engaging and developmental activities including issue-based workshops, sports, team building, games, STEM activities, art, music, and IT related activities. Specific additional projects are then developed around this core. For example, our peer wellbeing programme for young people allows young people to discuss their mental health and wellbeing and to support each other through a network of peers.
We also place a strong focus on attainment, helping young people to demonstrate what their development, through Youth Achievement / Dynamic Youth Awards, Community Achievement Awards, Saltire Awards and Youth Access units at Kelvin College.
Purpose of Job
The Business Development Manager in partnership with the community and staff will be responsible for developing and leading the business development strategy for the organisation.
The Pavillion needs a long-term plan. We have a small facility and a large catchment and an ever-increasing waiting list of families who need access to the service. We need to look at options for premises going forward. New build? Development on the current site or is it taking over an unused building in the community?
We also need to develop new income streams which lessen our need for grant funding.
We think this is a fantastic opportunity for someone with the correct skills and enthusiasm to make a real difference in a community despite having to deal with enormous issues, still has the drive and determination to succeed as individuals and a community. This well not be easy but it will be rewarding. In a world were there is so much darkness, this will be a beacon of light

We are a dynamic community and youthwork organisation based in the Blackhill/ Provanmill area of north-east Glasgow. Through our varied and creative programmes, St Paul’s Youth Forum works with our local community to alleviate the worst effects of poverty. Thanks to significant funding from Glasgow City Council, and the support of the People Make Glasgow Communities team and Glasgow Life, we are thrilled to be able to reopen our local Community Centre and establish a community hub in the heart of Blackhill.
Purpose of the Role
Are you passionate about the power of food to bring people together? At SPYF, food has been at the core of many of our programmes for a number of years and we are hugely excited for the potential this cafe has to catalyse growth in our community.
The Training Cafe Manager will manage the cafe within the SPYF Molendinar Community Centre as a training venture, working in partnership with local secondary schools to increase the employability of local young people whilst providing a vital service for the local community. A key purpose of the cafe will also be to provide a free healthy meal for anyone in need, alongside other menu options.
We envisage that the Training Cafe Manager will deliver a complete introduction to all facets of hospitality work, including accredited qualifications, cooking skills, front of house, and business management. Partnership working will be key to this post to maximise the benefits for the young people we will be working with, including developing opportunities for positive destinations beyond their time at the SPYF Molendinar Community Centre Cafe, whether that be in hospitality or in further education.
Additionally, the Training Cafe Manager will be responsible for managing a team member who will look after the cafe during late afternoon and evening shifts, ensuring that all cafe protocols are adhered to.
Working closely with staff, Trustees, local authorities, funders and external commercial organisations, the SPYF Training Cafe Manager will work to ensure that a welcoming learning space operates for the benefit of, not only young people and local residents, but people throughout Glasgow.
Thanks to funding from Glasgow City Council’s Place Fund, this post is funded for 2 years with a view to extend this subject to further funding.
