Due to the nature of our Collective Management structure, this is a unique role. We are the last true collective organisation that operates within the Scottish Women’s Aid Network. You will be involved in and have shared ownership of all areas of work Clydebank Women’s Aid undertakes.

Fundamentally, this is a role that allows the opportunity to work with other feminists who, like you, are committed to improving the lives of women, children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse and overthrowing patriarchy. By working collectively, we are each able to take our equal share of the workload and as such promote a supportive and positive work environment. We value each other, our experiences, our health, our skills – both collectively and individually – and we are committed to upholding our compassionate and trusting work culture, our sisterhood and, our positive relationships through formal and informal practices such as bi-annual team building events.

This would be the ideal role for someone who does not want to be working from home and is looking for a varied and interesting role as no two days in Clydebank Women’s Aid are the same. You will have the unique perspective as a worker and a manager. By supporting the women, children, and young people directly, you will gain first-hand insight into the challenges and barriers they face. You will have the opportunity to contribute to local and national campaigns and legislation that could ultimately make a difference to the issues that the women, children, and young people that we support face on a day-to-day basis. Your passion, vision, attitudes, skills, and ideas will be valued and will be used to propel Clydebank Women’s Aid forward.

You will also be a Trustee of the charity and as such you will be required to make collective decisions on behalf of Clydebank Women’s Aid and ensure we are carrying out our remit for the public benefit, comply with and work to Clydebank Women’s Aid constitution, act in Clydebank Women’s Aid’s best wishes, manage Clydebank Women’s Aid resources responsibly, act with reasonable care and skill and ensure Clydebank Women’s Aid is accountable by complying with statutory accounting and reporting requirements that demonstrate that the charity is run well. We would urge candidates to look over the information on Trustee duties on office of the Scottish Charity Register website for more information: oscr.org.uk/managing-a-charity/trustee-duties

As a worker and Collective Manager at Clydebank Women’s Aid, we are all trained to the same level and have access to the same training opportunities, and Clydebank Women’s Aid will invest in your personal and professional development. With this, we do not have the expectation that you already have completed specific qualifications. Instead, we ask that you will be willing to work towards and gain an SVQ that meets both the standards of Clydebank Women’s Aid and the SSSC. The cost of which will be funded by Clydebank Women’s Aid. The cost of SSSC registration and PVG updates will also be covered by Clydebank Women’s Aid (within budgetary constraints).

We are committed to an inclusive workplace and particularly welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates, in particular women of colour and those underrepresented in the workforce.
