West Dunbartonshire Citizens Advice Bureau (WDCAB) was formed in 2001 although we have existed as an advice agency since 1971, providing a holistic advice service to the residents of Dumbarton and Alexandria and then Clydebank. WDCAB provides free, independent, impartial and confidential advice and information to ensure that people understand their rights and responsibilities, and can express their needs effectively. We campaign and influence to tackle the root cause of the problems people face and work to strengthen their rights.

WDCAB is currently undergoing a major restructure of its services. We support individuals with a wide range of general enquiries whilst providing specialist support on topics including benefits, debt and utilities.

We are currently looking to recruit individuals who would like to contribute to their local community by joining our Board of Trustees. We are seeking team players who have strategic vision, independent judgement, a willingness to give time and commitment to help support and develop our organisation. We are particularly interested in hearing from people with knowledge and experience in finance, HR, fundraising, governance and Third Sector organisations.

This is an exciting time to join us as we look forward to developing and strengthening our services to meet the challenges that our community will face. Your ideas, skills and enthusiasm could make all the difference to how we achieve this.

Applicants will have the experience and skills to ensure that the charity continues to develop and provide high-quality long-term services. As a Trustee, you will be required to ensure good governance of the organisation which will involve attendance at monthly Board Meetings and participation in Sub-Committees.
