Role

Join MECOPP

Make a difference in Scotland's Gypsy/Traveller communities

MECOPP (Minority Ethnic Carers of People Project) is Scotland's leading Black and Minority Ethnic carers' organisation. We work to reduce inequalities, improve access to culturally responsive services, and support some of the most marginalised communities across Scotland.

Thanks to funding from the Scottish Government's Gambling Levy, we have established our new Better Wellbeing Service, designed to address gambling harms, improve wellbeing, and strengthen support for Gypsy/Traveller individuals, families and communities.

We are now seeking passionate, committed individuals to join our growing team and help deliver this innovative and impactful service across Scotland.

This role focuses on improving financial wellbeing by supporting individuals and families to maximise income, access benefits and grants, manage financial pressures and navigate welfare systems. The successful candidate will have experience in income maximisation, welfare rights, benefits advice, advocacy and casework.
