The overwhelming message from our colleagues is that they thoroughly enjoy working together and get great satisfaction from making a difference and contributing to a growing organisation.

This means that we feel confident in saying that the main benefit of working for Westway Development Trust is the satisfaction we all gain from being part of a diverse team working together towards the common aim of making a positive difference to local people’s lives.

Being a social enterprise means that Westway staff who are commercially minded can make a big impact by helping to generate the income required to fund our work in the local community, while those with the skills and passion to work directly with our local communities can use this income to deliver the Trust’s community objectives. Often individuals are required to balance both areas, giving a challenging and rewarding aspect to our work.

Due to the nature of our organisation, we offer a wide range of careers ranging from community gardeners, to community health advisors, duty managers, sports and fitness coaches, ESOL Tutors, administrators, property managers, marketing roles and senior managers. All employees throughout the Trust make an important contribution as part of the Westway team.

In addition to job satisfaction working as part of a great team, the Trust offers a competitive benefits package which includes a generous holiday allowance, pension scheme, free gym membership, bicycle and season ticket loans and a bonus scheme.

The Trust operates a number of family friendly working practices including flexi-time (for some posts), occupational maternity and paternity pay schemes and offers a number of part time posts suitable for those with parental responsibilities.
