Urban Roots is a thriving community-led environmental and health improvement charity. Over the past ten years we have worked with local residents and a large team of enthusiastic volunteers to establish a network of community gardens and woodlands across the Southside of Glasgow. We also run a number of healthy cooking projects and outdoor learning and play activities for children and young people.
We are passionate about the benefits that our work brings to improving local environments, promoting community cohesion and supporting the health and well-being of people of all ages. We work closely with other community organisations, Glasgow City Council and the NHS Health Improvement team to ensure that our projects are effective and targeted at those most in need.
We are currently recruiting for new board members, including a Treasurer, and are keen to hear from people of all backgrounds and experiences who share our vision of a greener city and a fairer food system.
Skills and experience in any of the main areas of board responsibility (including financial management, charity governance, employment law, health and safety, safeguarding) would be useful, but most important to us is a commitment to the work of the organisation and a willingness to learn new skills.
We usually meet 4 times a year at our base in Toryglen but have moved online during 2020 and organise meetings at times that suit our Trustees. We offer a thorough induction process and a mentoring system to support new trustees in their role.
Travel and other expenses will be reimbursed. Childcare is arranged at the meeting venue.

This role is responsible for taking WEAll Scotland to the next level - moving it from a high impact but volunteer led organisation to a high performing, professional and sustainable organisation. Your main focus in terms of delivering external impact will be through our flagship Allies programme, which aims to create a network of allies who help collectively deliver and promote the feasibility and desirability of transition to a wellbeing economy. They will collaborate in various activities to support both practice and policy changes.
WEAll Scotland has a strong external profile and you will represent the network externally with key stakeholders from business, government and civil society. You will also support key voices from within the core team and network to be heard at external events and in the media.
You will lead WEAll Scotland’s development as an organisation, developing its strategy, team, fundraising and ensuring its culture and operational practices create an inclusive environment for a diverse team. One of your first priorities will be hiring the next two roles for the team: a Collaboration and Research Officer and a Communications Officer.

The job will play a critical role in supporting the organisation’s day-to-day operations with a strong focus on volunteer support and development. This role will work across the range of functions to make sure we have the right administrative and project management support in place for our volunteer team, the Development and Operations Manager and trustees.
This role will also assist the development and growth of our Leaders Network. The Leaders Network allows Young Leaders, past and present, to build knowledge, develop projects, collaborate with others, share skills and lead climate action towards a just and sustainable society. You will be a flexible individual, able to co-ordinate people, processes, and projects with confidence and quickly be able to build rapport with stakeholders.
The role will be essential in administering and co-ordinating the activities of 2050 Climate Group. The role will work closely with volunteers, therefore flexibility with working patterns is required to support some evening and weekend work.
The Brock is a charity and social enterprise that provides constructive therapeutic work activities and facilitated social integration for people with chronic mental health conditions. We focus on what people can do rather than what they can’t. We offer stimulating opportunities to socialise and learn new skills in horticulture, woodwork and a variety of crafts.
Our Vision: A society where every individual with a mental health condition feels included, supported and valued.
Throughout the current pandemic, The Brock has continued to deliver support to people with chronic mental health conditions in a variety of ways.
We are now seeking an energetic, empathetic and enthusiastic person to join our team. You’ll share our vision and have the necessary skills to provide support through phone & online contact, garden visits etc – specifically to our service users who are shielding and/or hesitant to attend The Brock due to the pandemic. When appropriate, you will use the project vehicle to provide transport. Flexibility is key, and working hours may vary depending on service users’ changing needs.
Our service users need you to be:
- a people person
- kind-hearted
- caring
- helpful
- understanding
- easy-going
- consistent
- confident
- reliable
- have a sense of humour
- and above all you will have an in-depth understanding of the impact of living with a chronic mental health condition.
You will be joining the Brock at an exciting time as we develop as a social enterprise and expand our areas of activity. There is significant opportunity for the post holder to work in a team of experienced facilitators to support other enterprise initiatives that The Brock is delivering, and to use your imagination and creativity to influence the direction of the organisation and its impact on service users.
Having the right mind-set, attitude and approach is as important to us as having the right experience and skills. We are a young and growing organisation; a strong contribution may lead to further employment opportunity.
The successful applicant for this post will be required to apply for membership of the PVG (Protection of Vulnerable Groups) Scheme.
This post is part funded by the Scottish Government Community Recovery Fund.
