About the Community Wellbeing Collective (CWC)

We are a multi‑cultural inter‑generational working‑class socially engaged art collective, made up of over 30 members. We believe wellbeing is political, and work to bring people together to discuss and address the many things that affect our wellbeing. Together we run our own space, including a full programme of activities, alongside our external partners. We tackle big themes such as housing, disability, suicide, racism, policing, healthcare and many more. Aiming to remove barriers to better wellbeing, bring people together, strengthen community and action change in Wester Hailes and beyond.

We are a charity that operates similarly to a cooperative, working together to create the changes we want to see and raising funds to pay for all the work we do. We hope to create a new kind of structure that allows everyone locally and beyond to get involved in ways they can.

Position: Development & Finance Lead

We are looking for a reliable, proactive, highly capable individual who works well in a team and independently. The role requires working with other CWC leads, members, and the board to steer and shape what is core to CWC, imagine what is possible, create local and societal change, and sustain the Collective.
