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).
