Following the forthcoming retirement of our current Chief Executive, we are seeking a passionate and dynamic Chief Executive to lead Ayrshire Cancer Support into our next exciting phase. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced professional who has demonstrable senior leadership, management, diplomatic and collaboration skills, to help shape the future of Ayrshire’s leading cancer support charity.

Working collaboratively with our Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Colleagues, the post-holder will drive our strategy, identifying and prioritising opportunities to sustain and grow income, as well as developing our cancer support services. They will also work collaboratively with colleagues to develop innovative and practical ways to increase turnover and profitability to deliver the required impact.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in income growth, will be commercially astute and able to demonstrate high levels of business acumen, having an excellent understanding of the financial planning requirements of a self-funded charity.

Possessing drive, resilience, ambition and empathy we are seeking someone who will be ‘hands on’ and relish the challenge of providing the very highest levels of support to those affected by cancer in Ayrshire, acting as an ambassador and champion for our charity and our services.
