Trustees

Wellbeing Economy Alliance Scotland
Management Board
Hybrid: Glasgow
(expenses reimbursed)
Closing 22 March 2026
Advertised from 23 February 2026

Role

WEAll Scotland is Scotland’s leading voice for building an economy that works for people and planet. We are a nationally recognised and growing network of organisations and individuals working to transform Scotland’s economic system so it delivers social justice within planetary boundaries.

As the Scottish hub of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance, we convene partners, shape policy conversations and champion practical alternatives to an economic model that is no longer delivering what matters most — dignity, fairness, connection and a healthy environment.

This is a rare opportunity to join our Board of Trustees and help lead a respected and growing movement at a pivotal moment for Scotland’s future.

The Role

Our Trustees play a vital role in delivering WEAll Scotland’s strategy. You will provide strategic oversight, support a dynamic staff team and act as an ambassador for the organisation.

Trustees are appointed for an initial term of up to three years (with potential extension). The commitment is approximately 1–2 days per quarter, including Board meetings and preparation. Trustees are also encouraged to take an active interest in the organisation beyond meetings, including attending events and contributing to Board-led work.

This is an unremunerated role; reasonable expenses are reimbursed.

About You

We welcome applications from individuals who:

  • are passionate about the need for economic system change 
  • has a good understanding of the issues facing our economy, society and natural environment. 
  • are confident they can make a valuable contribution to our work and comfortable with working at Board level. However, prior Board experience is not a requirement.
  • are able to think strategically 
  • is good at building relationships and works effectively as part of a team (with an ability to challenge constructively)
  • can provide leadership/championship
  • shares our values as set out in our strategy and our manifesto for a wellbeing economy.

 

Previous Board experience is not required. Skills in finance, business management, facilitation or holding participatory spaces are welcome but not essential.

We are committed to equal opportunities and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented communities. Support with childcare or other access needs is available.
