Manager

Are you passionate about community, connection, and collaboration?

Do you believe in the power of local people to shape positive change?

Wells Community Network (WCN) is a newly registered charity dedicated to building a caring, resilient, and connected community in Wells and the surrounding area. We bring together volunteers, residents, and organisations to support people facing life challenges, reduce isolation, and strengthen the networks that help our community thrive.

We are looking for a Manager to play a key role in our exciting journey from a volunteer-led organisation to a professionally supported charity. This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who wants to:

• Build on the strengths of what already exists in our community.

• Support and facilitate volunteers to lead projects and deliver services.

• Encourage collaboration, connection, and shared problem-solving across local groups and organisations.

• Help WCN grow and become more resilient for the future.

As our charity Manager, you’ll coordinate projects and services, support volunteers, strengthen systems and policies, and work with trustees to deliver our strategy. You’ll also play a role in fundraising, communications, and impact measurement — helping ensure WCN remains sustainable and effective as it grows.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about people and community.

• Skilled at motivating and supporting volunteers.

• Organised, proactive, and able to manage a wide range of responsibilities.

• A strong communicator who enjoys building relationships and networks.

If you share our belief that communities thrive when volunteers, people with lived experience, and organisations work together, we’d love to hear from you.
