If you have experience and knowledge of the Scottish legal system, or charity law, we want to hear from you.
Along with experience in law we are keen to hear from women who are passionate about equality, want to break down barriers to social, economic and political engagement, and would like the opportunity to contribute to the strategic direction of DIWC.
About Dundee International Women’s Centre (DIWC)
The Centre has been supporting isolated and disadvantaged women, particularly those from Black and Minority Ethnic communities, since 1969. We hold groups promoting health and social wellbeing, skills-based classes, English classes, SQA training and Employability classes, as well as running a social enterprise childcare service.
If you are passionate about making the difference in women’s lives and have experience of legal systems and particularly charity law, please come and join us.
