Role

Are you looking for an exciting new role? Do you want help Roma community members make a difference to their lives and aspirations? Are you passionate about making change happen? Then we really want you to apply for this role!  

WHAT WE OFFER 

• A meaningful role supporting economic inclusion and empowerment in Glasgow’s Roma communities.
• Flexible working hours and supportive team culture.
• Training and development opportunities.
• The chance to shape a new programme with long-term impact.

This role is part of a new, community-led initiative delivered in partnership between Rom Romeha and Community Renewal Trust, working closely with Glasgow City Council and local employability services.

The project is a new initiative aimed at increasing entrepreneurial opportunities for migrant Roma communities in Glasgow, providing culturally sensitive, multilingual business support, empowering Roma individuals to start and grow their own businesses. This will create a pathway to economic independence, improve social inclusion, and help achieve Glasgow’s Net Zero ambitions by supporting sustainable business practices within the Roma community.

Migrant Roma in Glasgow often face significant challenges in accessing support for entrepreneurship due to cultural misunderstandings, language barriers, and a lack of services tailored to their needs. Roma Start-Ups is a pilot programme designed to provide specialist business support to Roma entrepreneurs in Glasgow, helping them to formalise, grow, and sustain businesses. We will deliver one-to-one and group mentoring, business training, financial literacy support, and access to funding opportunities, ensuring culturally tailored, multilingual services.

This pilot will empower Roma individuals, women, and young entrepreneurs, enabling them to transition from informal trading to registered businesses. Through networking events, pop-up markets, and community engagement, we will create sustainable economic opportunities, breaking down systemic barriers and fostering entrepreneurial inclusion within Glasgow’s diverse communities.
