GalGael are a creative and resourceful organisation seeking an experienced project administrator to join our team on our new project Making Just Futures. We’re a small team wrestling with lots of work that’s often complex so reliable back-office skills are essential in running a ‘tight ship’, such as Word, Excel and data entry. The nature of the organisation’s work can be unpredictable so we need team members who can bring consistency and be highly organised.

You'll bring experience in office administration and be central to supporting our new project including maintaining project records and supporting compilation of reports. Maintaining a supportive environment is an integral aspect of any staff role within GalGael. Salary £24,403.57 pro rata - 21 hours per week (by agreement). The location for the post will be GalGael’s workshop premises near Ibrox Subway. This post is initially funded for two years by Glasgow Communities and Place Fund through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

With roots in Glasgow’s southside, GalGael work together on common tasks that reveal our common humanity. We strive for a just Scotland freed from scarcity, violence and loneliness. We create the conditions for people from marginalised communities to reclaim health and agency through working with their hands. This takes place within the context of community woven around woodwork, growing, cooking, eating, boat repair and rowing. We bring learning alive for people, many of whom are on the margins, in ways that are relevant to increasing wellbeing and a range of other complex needs. For over twenty-five years we have offered experiences whereby folk create meaning, connection and sense of self.

Collaborating with people from communities across Glasgow, Making Just Futures will co-produce a community curriculum of new and continuing learning experiences through which people can reclaim skills, agency and their wellbeing. Over two years, Making Just Futures will empower communities to imagine, determine and ultimately make just futures that meet their needs for living well and sustainably in an increasingly uncertain world.
