Commonwealth Writers believes in the transformative power of creative expression in all its forms. We work with local and international partners to identify and deliver a wide range of cultural projects. Our activities take place in Commonwealth countries, but our community is global. 

About the Commonwealth Foundation

The Commonwealth Foundation is an intergovernmental organisation established by Heads of Government in support of the belief that the Commonwealth is as much an association of peoples as it is of governments.

The individual should have strong writing skills, research abilities, experience of working with websites and using social media platforms, the ability to meet tight deadlines, a good knowledge of Microsoft Office, and strong administration skills.
