Diverse Perspectives Welcome!
Respect is at the core of who we are. We value diversity and inclusion, and we believe that a range of perspectives, walks of life and cultures makes us stronger. Whether you come from a background in education, business, or community development, your unique experiences and skills may be what WCS is looking for.
You may never have considered a Board position before, but your knowledge and ideas may be invaluable to us and could be a great opportunity for you to enhance your network and your own skills. WCS is especially keen to hear from those groups currently under-represented on Boards of Scottish public bodies, such as those from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, people aged under-50 and women. It is not essential that you live/work in areas where our campuses are based.

Being a part of West College's Board means becoming a valued member of a collaborative team, choosing to undertake change and development to create value for our students, team and partners. It’s a chance to engage in meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, and work with other professionals to create an environment that fosters growth and success.
