Who we are:

The Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) is a global collaboration of organisations, alliances, movements and individuals formed in 2018. We work together to change the economic system, so it delivers human and ecological wellbeing. WEAll’s strategy consists of the following three key components: narratives, knowledge and power bases.

Critically, change needed will not be brought about by any single entity on its own. It requires collaboration and inspiration, sharing and co-creation. Hence the creation of new powerbases in the form of a citizens’ movement, place-based hubs and thematic clusters (e.g. the Wellbeing Economy Governments – WEGo – partnership) at the heart of WEAll’s strategy. These powerbases need to be fed both by bringing together a coherent body of existing and new wellbeing economy theory and practice as well as a compelling positive new economic narrative.

What we offer:

An opportunity to work with a highly motivated team committed to accelerating economic system change. A team with a set of dedicated values: Togetherness, Care, Honesty, Equality and Passion. This is WEAll’s core ‘amplification’ (Amp) team.

The Digital Communications Lead position offers the opportunity to lead on the management and enhancement of WEAll’s online presence. Amplification of our vision and the work of our members around the world is critical to our theory of change. As we grow and gain momentum, we are seeking to elevate our communications channels through the recruitment of a dedicated expert.

The position is a fantastic opportunity for someone with skills and experience successfully managing websites, creating engaging content and running social media accounts: and who wants to be part of building a better system for people and planet. You will be part of an exciting movement, working with people from all over the world who are collaborating to transform the economy.

Contract type: 10-month self-employed contract with the potential to renew – funding dependent beyond 10 months.

Remuneration: Up to £2,650 per month dependent on experience. This figure is inclusive of all taxes for which the contractor will be responsible.

Hours of work: Full-time with the possibility of some international travel. The nature of this role is that flexibility in hours is both required by the role (for example, there will be some evening and weekend work) but also offered by WEAll.

Location: While we encourage and welcome applications from anywhere in the world (working from home), we understand and appreciate the value of human connection. As such, our preference is to recruit for a person to be based in either Glasgow [Scotland] or Madrid [Spain]. We have members of the Amp team based in both locations. In Glasgow, we can provide access to a co-working space, in Madrid it would be a home working scenario.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for an organised, flexible and highly motivated individual with demonstrable digital communications skills, and a passion for economic system change. The focus for the role is to take the lead on WEAll’s online communication channels, developing the platforms and content to drive engagement with our vision.
