We are Crossroads Caring for Carers; a supportive, professional and autonomous small business in Perth with the goal of providing quality respite care to unpaid carers in Perth and Kinross!
Our main objective is to provide respite care to the community by providing that essential relief to the usual caregiver, to enable them to live a full and independent life.
Our service users include older people, children, people with physical disabilities and people in their final stages of life, and people with additional support needs.
We are now seeking a visionary Chief Executive Officer to guide our next chapter, someone who combines sharp commercial instinct, strategic thinking, and a passion for people.
This is more than a CEO role. It’s a chance to lead change that truly matters.

- Build Partnerships: Strengthen ties with funders, local authorities, and health & social care partners.
- Nurture Culture: Create a workplace where people feel heard, respected, and empowered.
As our CEO, you will be specifically responsible for:
- Leading and supporting three Care Co-ordinators and have overall responsibility for our brilliant staff team.
- Monitoring and improving services, ensure compliance, and maintain rigorous quality standards.
- Representing Crossroads externally, building awareness and ensuring our continued relevance in a fast-changing world.
- Meeting with Local Authority, discussing and negotiation budgets and funding of up to £1 million.
In order to be successful in this role you must have:
- Proven leadership experience, ideally in the health, social care or third sector.
- A strategic mindset with hands-on experience in operational and financial management.
- A genuine passion for community-based care.
- A strong understanding of governance, legislation, and service delivery.
- A collaborative, compassionate, and confident leadership style.
- Excellent communication, analytical and problem-solving skills.
It would be great if you have:
- A relevant degree (SCQF Level 9 or equivalent)
- Experience negotiating service agreements or leading funding initiatives
- A good understanding of Self-Directed Support (SDS) and the evolving care landscape in Scotland
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to step into a respected organisation at the heart of the Perth & Kinross community and shape its future.
If you're motivated by purpose and energised by challenge, we want to hear from you.
About CATH
CATH was started in the winter of 1990-1991 when a group of local people came together in response to the number of people sleeping rough in Perth at that time. The first response was a ‘Soup Kitchen’, which later developed into a Day Centre (now called the Community Hub) which opened in 1995.
Now, CATH supports people across Perth & Kinross via a range of projects – from our Community Hub and Outreach provision through to our supported housing service, Tayview House, to our Floating Housing Support service. Each of these provides a form of housing-related support – aiming to ensure people access and/or maintain accommodation. This includes income maximisation support, access to community-based activities and signposting to additional support where required. In addition, we have an Adult Learning programme and are in our final year of a test of change project called Positive Pathways, both of which support people to access training, education, volunteering opportunities and employment. Our much valued and well-loved charity shop opened in 2010, not only providing the charity with a source of income but also helping to divert high quality items from landfill, fostering a sense of community amongst regular shoppers, providing items at a fair price and offering both volunteering and employment opportunities. Our final project, On The Mend, provides an inclusive community facility on Perth High Street offering group-based activities. We currently run several craft and upcycling courses for people to access, many of whom are facilitated by volunteers and overseen by talented and creative staff.
About this Role
CATH are seeking a motivated, experienced and flexible Fundraising Officer to join our team of circa 35 staff and circa 40 volunteers. We do not currently have this role within our organisation, so this presents an exciting opportunity for the right person to play a truly vital role in increasing our income and helping us sustain, develop and grow our work to meet the needs of people in Perth & Kinross. Whilst this role will have the support of our Senior Management Team and other colleagues, this is a sole fundraising role so the successful candidate must be confident in working alone and understand the importance of demonstrating our values whilst building relationships with supporters and donors. The primary purpose will be community, events and corporate fundraising but there will be the opportunity to support our trusts and foundations applications and our wider income generation activities.
We are looking for an exceptional person to join The Gannochy Trust, a registered charity well known for its philanthropy and unique housing provision. Highly motivated, with excellent administrative and organisational skills, you will be committed to the values and broader aims of the Trust, and making a difference to people’s lives.
The Gannochy Trust was founded in 1937 by A K Bell. Our work today has been developed to support the full realisation of our founder’s visionary philanthropy. We provide affordable housing, manage a range of farms, woodlands and buildings and as an independent funder, manage a grant giving programme of around £5 million annually. The work of the Trust is both varied and interesting.
For this role, you will need to have substantial administrative experience and be willing to work flexibly as part of a team. You will lead the administration team in providing high quality administration support to the Board of Trustees, Chief Executive and Senior Management Team. An important part of the role is to support the efficient management of the Trust. This ranges from record management to contributing to projects, and making improvements to administration systems.
In return, we offer excellent terms and conditions including a generous pension scheme and health related benefits, as well as training and learning opportunities. You will be a key contributor to the work of the Trust, supporting the delivery of our strategic and operational plans. This post will be predominately office based with flexible working arrangements available subject to operational requirements.
