About Gwella
Gwella is proud to look after Flintshire’s leisure centres, libraries and associated community and heritage services. We are ambitious to become more deeply invested in supporting our community’s future, especially its health, wellbeing, culture and happiness.

About Gwella
Gwella runs services that play a vital role in our communities, supporting physical activity, learning, social connection, early help and cultural participation. We are a new organisation, friendly but serious about what we do and the impact we should make. Our teams build on decades of trusted public service, with deep relationships in the communities we serve.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Across Flintshire, communities are experiencing pressures linked to health inequality, cost of living, loneliness and ageing infrastructure. In this context, leisure and library services are not simply amenities, but places where people stay active, build confidence, access support and remain connected.
Who We Are Looking For
Non-Executive Directors provide independent oversight, strategic insight and constructive challenge to support the long-term success of Gwella. They help ensure the organisation is well governed, financially resilient and focused on delivering positive outcomes for communities.
