Current vacancies

Chief Executive Officer

  • Full time
  • £55,000 – £60,000
  • On site: Edinburgh
  • Closing 21st May 2025

For 40 years, Artlink has worked with the arts to creatively challenge how disabled people have a voice and influence in their communities. We have a reputation for bold ideas, deep listening, and fearless experimentation.

As our long-standing Director prepares to retire, we are looking for a new Chief Executive Officer - someone ready to lead us into the next exciting phase of our journey. We are looking for a creative thinker and collaborative leader who believes in collective working and the transformational power of art.

As Chief Executive Officer you will lead on strategy, delivery and finance.

You will have a passion for people, a grounded understanding of the realities of their lives, and an awareness that our strategy is also shaped by the changing landscapes of care, health, education and equalities.

You will guide the development and delivery of our arts programmes, making a compelling case for the evolving role of art in the lives of marginalised communities.

You will be confident about working across sectors and major funders - often in challenging circumstances, securing the resources needed to drive on our work.

Most of all, you will bring a real excitement about what is possible. If you believe in the power of art to build partnerships, open doors, and create real change, we’d love to hear from you.
