About Black Thrive Global

We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is not the exception but the norm.

Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people in Lambeth. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.

Our work covers all life stages – children and young people, working age adults and older adults. Our guiding principle is to centre the lived experiences of Black communities in all that we do, and our strategic priorities are to embed race equity in systems change and to decolonise the evidence landscape.

The Thriving Futures Scaling Systems Change programme will involve scaling what we have tested and learned locally in Lambeth, Haringey, and Birmingham to achieve UK-wide impact through Black Thrive Global, with the ambition to extend our work into Wales and Scotland.

About Wikimedia UK

A registered charity, Wikimedia UK is the national chapter of the global Wikimedia movement. We work with volunteers, communities and partners across the UK to build and improve Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, so that everyone can access and contribute to reliable, open knowledge. We empower people to find, use, evaluate, and communicate information online and we advocate for a digital ecosystem that is open, equitable and democratic.

Background:

Programme Coordinators at Wikimedia UK lead on partnership work, relationship development, training delivery and volunteer support, usually within particular geographic or topic areas.  We are looking to recruit for a fixed-term, two-year role to deliver and develop our activities in Scotland, and support the wider Programmes team in delivering UK-wide work. For example in 2026, we are planning celebration events across the country for Wikipedia’s 25th, and the post-holder may be involved in their delivery. Apart from the delivery focus on Scotland, there will be scope to get involved with other areas of Wikimedia UK’s programmatic work such as delivering training in other parts of the UK, or supporting minoritised languages (particularly the indigenous languages of the UK), depending on programmatic needs. 

We have had dedicated staff support for activity in Scotland for nearly a decade, and have several successful and ongoing partnerships with a number of educational and cultural institutions, as well as community organisations.  Whilst the focus of this role is primarily on Scotland, Wikimedia UK delivers work both nationally and internationally, and the post holder would be expected to hold a portfolio which contributes to and supports this.

This is a part time post and can be based anywhere in Scotland, and there is an expectation of travel, including quarterly meetings at our office in London.  Some evening and weekend work should also be expected, for which Time Off In Lieu can be taken.  Successful post holders of similar roles in the organisation are skilled in advocacy, creative thinking, and project planning.

Purpose of job: To lead the delivery of Wikimedia UK’s activities in Scotland, by developing and running projects with partner institutions, involving and empowering volunteers, and delivering training, as well as supporting programmatic work outwith Scotland.

Main Duties

Programme Development & Delivery:

• Lead on the development and delivery of Wikimedia UK’s programme in Scotland, in collaboration with the Programme Manager, including seeking new potential opportunities.

• Support other aspects of Wikimedia UK’s programme outwith Scotland as appropriate

• Work with other staff to identify funding opportunities for existing or potential projects, as appropriate

Relationship Management (Particularly in relation to Scotland):

• Act as the main point of contact for partner organisations and volunteers and ensure proactive, effective and regular communications with these stakeholders

• Actively pursue, set up and manage relationships with partner organisations

• Provide support to Wikimedians in Residence 

• Develop, deliver or support a range of activities, such as Wikipedia editing events, Wiki Loves campaigns, editor meetups and content donations, in partnership with other staff and external stakeholders

Community Engagement and Development (Particularly in relation to Scotland):

• Encourage the involvement of volunteers in activities, grow the volunteer base, and provide support for community-led activities

• Design and delivery of training to partner organisations and volunteers

• Support the volunteer grants programme 

Monitoring, Evaluation and Impact:

• Report regularly on programme plans, outputs and outcomes, in collaboration with other staff in the Programmes team

• Handle documentation and record all programme metrics relevant to the role’s portfolio, including updating CRM records for partnerships, volunteers and activities

Communication and Dissemination:

• Contribute to the promotion and dissemination of our work and impact, in collaboration with the Communications team, and including for example blog posts and conference presentations.

• Manage and update the Scotland mailing list, and Scotland pages on WMUK’s Wiki and website. 

• Contribute to knowledge exchange with the international Wikimedia movement 

Travel:

• Attend and contribute to regular team meetings, generally held in London (for which costs will be reimbursed)

• Regular travel across Scotland will be required, and occasionally further afield in the UK (for which costs will be reimbursed)

Person Specification

Essential:

• Experience in the cultural, education or open knowledge sectors, with a demonstrable understanding of how organisations in at least one of these sectors operate and what they might value in a partnership.

• Proven track record of managing external relationships or partnerships, including initiating and sustaining productive working relationships with a range of stakeholders over time.

• Experience planning and delivering public-facing events or programmes, such as training sessions, workshops, community events, or editing/contribution events, from inception through to evaluation.

• Strong communication skills across multiple formats, including the ability to write clearly and engagingly for different audiences (e.g. blog posts, partner communications, reports) and to represent an organisation in public-facing contexts.

• Experience engaging and supporting volunteers or community contributors, including growing participation and sustaining involvement over time.

• Self-motivated and able to manage a varied workload independently, with strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise across multiple projects without close supervision.

• Willingness and ability to travel regularly across Scotland and to London quarterly, with flexibility to work some evenings and weekends as required by the programme.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects, whether as a reader, editor, contributor, or through previous work with the Wikimedia movement.

• Experience of working with or supporting minoritised or indigenous languages, particularly in a Scottish or UK context (e.g. Scottish Gaelic, Scots).

• Experience using a CRM system to manage contacts, activities, or relationship records.

Join us as a City Network Coordinator and play a vital role in strengthening the voluntary and community sector (VCS) across the City of London. This role offers the opportunity to connect organisations, amplify community voices, and drive meaningful collaboration.

You will be building on work that was started in August 2024 to develop and coordinate a VCS network in the City of London. This next phase will involve proactive engagement of grassroots groups, and facilitating action-focused network meetings. Working closely with colleagues, you’ll support organisations to access funding, training, and development opportunities, while helping them take collective action on shared priorities. You’ll also play a key role in strengthening connections between the VCS and key stakeholders, including funders, and the City of London Corporation.

We’re looking for someone with experience in community engagement or network coordination, excellent communication skills, and a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. You’ll be highly organised, collaborative, and confident working independently.

The role is being offered for 3 days a week on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with potential to extend subject to funding.

If you’re passionate about strengthening voluntary and community organisations in a place-based way, we’d love to hear from you.
