The Welcoming Association is a charity dedicated to supporting New Scots (asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants) in Edinburgh to build positive, integrated lives.

We are seeking new Board Members to help guide and deliver our vision of a more welcoming, diverse, and inclusive city. Our current Board and staff team are deeply committed, passionate, and bring a wide range of lived and professional experiences. We are excited to expand this collective strength by welcoming several new Trustees.

We are particularly keen to hear from individuals who can complement our existing Board with some of the skills and experience set out in the role description. We warmly encourage applications from people with lived experience of migration, as well as those from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to:

• Make a meaningful impact on the lives of New Scots in Edinburgh.

• Contribute to an organisation at the heart of community integration.

• Work alongside a committed and values-driven Board and staff team.

• Help shape strategy and influence change at both local and national levels.
