Our Communities are places where people with and without learning disabilities live, share and grow together. Our Edinburgh Community is made up of over 80 members - including people we support, employees, volunteers, long-term friends and members.

We are looking for someone with the leadership gifts, values and ambition to enable us to achieve our

2030 Strategy aims of:

• brilliant, person-centred support and housing for adults with learning disabilities, and
• beautiful community where people with and without learning disabilities share lives, homes, friendships and spiritual journeys together.
• effective organisation

This is a very varied role which includes both operational management and visible leadership. The Community Leader brings people together, leading Celebrations, spiritual spaces, role modelling the values of L’Arche and building a culture which empowers teams to flourish, as well as co-producing plans to develop the Community and the services which we provide. The Community Leader is also responsible for managing compliance, budgets, embedding systems, organisational processes and policies in the Edinburgh Community.

Alongside other Community Leaders across the UK and members of the National Team, you will also contribute to the development and delivery of projects focusing on: Finances, People, Care and Housing, to meet our ambitious 2030 Strategy.

But being Community Leader is more than just a job and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of a movement of hope and joy. In L'Arche, you will be part of changing the world, and you could be profoundly changed too.
