DTA Wales is hiring – open positions

Date: 17.05.2023
We are pleased to announce that we are hiring for four new positions within DTA Wales:

Head of Community Assets Support Service

Manager – Net Zero Services

Operations Manager

Administrator – Enterprise and Assets

The Development Trusts Association Wales (DTA Wales) is an independent practitioner-based membership organisation promoting the work of, and supporting the growing network of, community enterprises in Wales. 

We are a small core team but with an increasingly big reach and growing impact as we work alongside and through our members, a large and growing pool of peer mentors and a range of experienced associates across Wales. Each programme of work we undertake we do through an expanding series of relationships both within Wales and as a Welsh partner across the UK. 

With this small core size comes flexibility and an agility to make a real difference here in Wales within this decade, where communities are being challenged through a combination of reduced public investment, increased demand for services, rising costs of living and the challenges arising from the climate and nature emergencies arriving on their doorsteps. 

Please find the details for our available positions below:
