Are you an ambitious communications leader who wants your work to change lives? If the answer is yes, this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for. Bring your creativity, judgement and leadership to Right There and help make our impact impossible to ignore.
For over 200 years, Right There has helped prevent people becoming homeless and keep families together across Scotland. Last year alone, over 4,000 people received the support they needed to stay in their homes and close to the people they love. We have a proud history, an urgent mission and the ambition to reach even further. Now we need an exceptional communications leader to illuminate our work, strengthen trust in Right There and inspire the support that will make even greater impact possible.
This is a high-profile leadership opportunity at the heart of Right There. As a member of our Senior Management Team, you will influence organisational strategy, shape how Scotland understands our work and build the audiences, profile and support we need to achieve lasting change.
You will have the freedom and influence to strengthen our brand, bring our impact vividly to life and ensure that the voices and experiences of the people we support are heard with care and authenticity. This is an ambitious role with the scope to build understanding, challenge assumptions and use outstanding communications to help create lasting change.
Your role
Your first opportunity will be to bring our marketing, communications, PR, public affairs and digital activity together behind Our compelling vision. You will give Right There a clearer, stronger and more distinctive voice, while ensuring that everything we communicate remains rooted in the real experiences of the people we support.
Setting the direction. You will set the strategic direction for communications, public affairs and supporter engagement, building Right There’s profile, influence and connection with the people and communities we want to reach.
Joining up our activity. You will turn organisational priorities into clear, audience-led plans and deliver an integrated marketing and communications strategy with meaningful measures of awareness, engagement, influence and support.
Building our voice and influence. You will lead policy, press and public affairs activity so Right There is recognised as a credible voice and contributes meaningfully to debates affecting the people we support.
Connecting people to our work. You will shape internal communications, develop our website and content strategy, and make it easy for colleagues, supporters and communities to understand our priorities, programmes and impact.
Leading with care and confidence. You will develop a creative, high-performing team and set clear standards so communications are accessible and ethical.
What you bring
You will already be an accomplished leader in marketing, communications or PR, ideally within a charity or social-purpose organisation, and you will be ready to bring that experience to a mission with real urgency. You will combine strategic ambition with humanity: making thoughtful decisions, building respectful relationships and creating communications that honour the dignity, strengths and experiences of the people we support.
Our offer
This is a full-time role working 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday. You will be based at 15 Dava Street in Glasgow, with a hybrid approach that combines around three office days each week with flexibility to work remotely. Our offer includes six weeks’ annual leave pro rata, rising to eight weeks after your first year, membership of the People’s Pension, a cycle-to-work scheme and the option to purchase or sell annual leave.
If you are ready to use the power of communications to build understanding, challenge assumptions and help create lasting change across Scotland, we want to hear from you.
About Us
We are a charity that recently celebrated 200 years of standing alongside people in Scotland. Last year we supported over 4,000 people to stay in their homes and stay connected to the people they love.
Who we are
Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s national dementia charity. Our aim is to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. We provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, campaign for the rights of people affected by dementia, fund vital dementia research and lead work to improve brain health, helping people understand the steps they can take to reduce their risk of dementia.
What you’ll do
We are looking for an ambitious partnership-builder who sees possibilities others miss and has the drive and determination to turn them into reality. You will identify untapped sectors, challenge conventional thinking and create distinctive and successful new partnerships that expand Alzheimer Scotland’s reach, influence and impact.
The opportunity extends far beyond traditional charity partnerships. Across sport, music, financial and legal services, brain health and wider community life, organisations are waiting to be connected with our mission in new ways. You will spot where our ambitions intersect, open doors that others overlook and build relationships that turn shared purpose into lasting impact.
This role goes beyond corporate fundraising or managing an existing portfolio of Charity of the Year supporters. You will originate and build new, senior-level strategic relationships, creating partnerships that can generate income and sponsorship while also unlocking training, joint campaigns, public engagement, knowledge-sharing and access to new audiences.
You will have the freedom and autonomy to originate ideas, build relationships and explore what a partnership could become with the judgement and focus to make it happen. From researching new sectors and identifying prospects, to shaping tailored propositions, working through delivery requirements and securing commitments, you will own the journey from first insight to lasting partnership. Working closely with the Director of Fundraising & Operations, you will draw on expertise across our Fundraising, Communications, Services and Practice, bringing the right colleagues into discussions at the right time. The ultimate aim is to create new partnerships that generate sustainable income for Alzheimer Scotland, alongside stronger awareness, engagement and opportunities to reach and acquire new supporters.
What you’ll have
You will bring a strong track record in strategic partnerships, business development or a related field. Crucially, you will be able to demonstrate how you have opened new relationships, influenced senior decision-makers and converted opportunities into tangible outcomes.
You will be naturally curious about different sectors, commercially astute and confident in developing an idea from an initial conversation into a convincing and sustainable proposal. You will be equally comfortable exploring a bold opportunity and doing the detailed follow-through needed to make it happen.
Experience in the charity sector or knowledge of dementia is welcome, but what matters most is your ability to create authentic partnerships that deliver meaningful and measurable value. Above all, you will be able to demonstrate how you have built a proposition or partnership from the ground up, exercising sound judgement and converting strategic potential into a practical, deliverable agreement.

As CEO within the organisation, you will also manage and work closely alongside the Senior Management Team comprising Programme Delivery manager, Finance and Administration Manager and Fundraising Manager to use your skills and experience to lead the organisation forward. You will report directly to the Chair and Board of trustees.
Do you want to lead a supportive team of people who really care about the people we are helping? Do you want to work in an organisation which listens, values everyone’s views and cares about the health and wellbeing of their staff? Do you understand the transformative effect of the outdoors? Are you passionate about #ChangingLivesOutdoors?

We are a specialist law centre championing and protecting children’s rights across Scotland. Our vision is for ‘all children growing up in Scotland to have their rights respected, protected and fulfilled.’ We provide free, specialist legal advice on child law and children’s rights, helping children, young people, carers, and families access justice when their rights have been breached.
We do this through our advice line and community clinic in Govanhill. We also deliver specialist training to organisations and schools, building knowledge and capacity to better uphold children’s rights. Through the evidence and insights gathered from our legal work, we advocate for long-term, systemic change to improve outcomes for children across Scotland.
The Centre established a Community Clinic in Govanhill, which has been operating since October 2025. The Clinic provides free legal advice and support to people who need us most, helping to remove barriers to accessing justice and extending our reach into the community. Our community advice work responds to the significant barriers many children and families continue to face in accessing legal support, particularly within Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, where a lack of access to legal aid can leave rights breaches unaddressed.
Through the Community Clinic, we also seek to become a trusted and valued part of the local community. By building strong relationships with schools, community organisations, statutory services and others involved in the care and support of children and young people, we aim to increase awareness of rights, improve access to advice, and ensure our work is informed by the experiences and needs of the communities we serve.
Purpose of the role
As a solicitor for the Scottish Child Law Centre, your primary role is to promote and further the rights of children and young people in Scotland, by giving legal advice to children and families at our Govanhill Community Clinic.
Please note this post is open to women only. This is a Genuine Occupational Requirement under the Equality Act 2010 Schedule 9, Part 1.
SCLC require to recruit a solicitor for the Govanhill Community Clinic. The role is to provide legal information and advice face to face in our Govanhill clinic. The diversity of the local population and the variety of cultures in Govanhill includes some religions and cultures where women would not, or do not feel comfortable, attending a one-on-one meeting with a man. The main demographic of people who use our clinic are ethnic minority women. Engagement and feedback from community members and partner organisations highlighted the need and preference for women to provide solicitor services in the clinic.
Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 provides that in certain circumstances it is lawful for an employer to apply a requirement to have a particular protected characteristic where, having regard to the nature or context of the work; there is an occupational requirement, and the application of the requirement is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
SCLC believe that, for reasons stated above, the requirement to have a solicitor who is a woman is a genuine occupational requirement. Being a woman is therefore essential to the post and there is a legitimate aim for applying the requirement to have a woman-only post. For the same reasons, and in particular the direct legal advice and services the post holder will perform, the requirement is proportionate.
Do you have excellent organisational skills and attention to detail? Do you want to use these skills to support an organisation that makes a difference to the lives of young women who’ve experienced sexual abuse, exploitation and other forms of sexual violence?
