An exciting new opportunity has come up to join the NESSie (North Edinburgh Support Services) team as Community Wealth Builder in Residence.
NESSie is an innovative new consortium project made up of Move On, Fresh Start, North Edinburgh Arts and Spartans Community Foundation.
The Community Wealth Builder in Residence role lies within the team at North Edinburgh Arts, but will have close working links with the other organisations within the team.
About NESSie
A new and innovative consortium led by Fresh Start, with Move On, North Edinburgh Arts and Spartans Community Football Academy.
The project is one of the first in Scotland to be developed from a ‘Human Learning System’ perspective. This is where it is different – we have no outcomes with our funders as we start with where people are at. We have no criteria – meaning we will work with all those who need our support and work in a real person-centred way. The purpose is to help people thrive, not survive, and most importantly, push for system change, as the current systems do not help, but hinder people.
If you need support, and live in North Edinburgh, please contact hello@nessienorthed.co.uk.

This is a new 24 month post which will help the NESSie network, key partners, and the wider R2 network, assess what Community Wealth Building and the five pillars mean for North Edinburgh and the communities who live and work there.
