About The Wight List
Built on the island, for the whole island.
The Wight List started in 2024 when our founders — three islanders who'd just moved back — couldn't find a single job board that took the Isle of Wight seriously. Mainland sites lump us in with Hampshire. Local Facebook groups are scattered. We wanted somewhere with the polish of a national board and the focus of a parish notice-board.
Today we work with 412 island employers, from the NHS Trust to one-person ferry charters. Every listing is reviewed by a real person on the island before it goes live.
