Role

About MIN:

Maryhill Integration Network (MIN) was established to bring people seeking asylum, refugees, migrants and the settled inhabitants of Glasgow together. Since 2001, we have been developing projects which support positive social change by investing in communities and providing a welcoming - and much-needed - safe and inclusive space with opportunities for collaboration and connection. Our main services include a user-led weekly programme of activities, which runs alongside regular learning opportunities, community events, advice clinics and outreach partnership projects coordinated across the city. For more information on MIN please review our last Annual Report.

About the role: 

The role feeds into the Human Rights and Citizenship theme within our Strategic Plan. This theme aims for MIN to continue to ‘develop a space which provides alternatives to hostile immigration policies’. 

This themes’ objectives include:

  1. Advocating for those impacted by immigration policies with a collective voice
  2. Playing a key role in creating a more balanced dialogue around migration in the UK
  3. Supporting volunteers to be active and engaged members of the community

The outcomes we wish to see include:

  • Fairer representation of diverse voices in debate and dialogue
  • Increasing awareness of rights, and confidence in actioning these rights
  • Improved collaboration between organisations working alongside people seeking asylum

Overall we want to see greater solidarity and respect shown to people seeking asylum in the UK.

The central duty of the Human Rights & Advocacy Coordinator is to coordinate the activities developed under the Human Rights and Citizenship theme. The activities include:

  • Coordinating campaigns
  • Advocating for rights
  • Developing peer-support initiatives 
  • Contributing towards policy change
