Community Development Worker (Maternity Cover)

Whitburn and District Community Development Trust (WCDT) is a community-led organisation at the heart of Whitburn, working to support local people and groups to thrive. Our mission is to create a more connected, confident, and resilient community by delivering local initiatives, encouraging volunteering, and fostering collaboration.

This fixed-term maternity-cover role is central to delivering our Strengthening Communities Programme funded by the Scottish Government, which aims to build on the strengths of WCDT by continuing to develop the organisation's activities and empowering residents to take an active role in shaping local change. The Community Development Worker will maintain continuity during the substantive postholder's maternity leave by leading community engagement, supporting the development of local projects, building partnerships, and amplifying the voices of residents. You will help ensure that the Trust continues to reflect the needs, priorities, and aspirations of the people it serves.
