Help shape the future of support for unpaid carers in Angus

Every day, unpaid carers across Angus provide vital care and support to family members, friends and neighbours. Their contribution is invaluable, yet caring can often impact health, wellbeing, employment, finances and opportunities.

At Angus Carers Centre, we work with and for unpaid carers to ensure they are recognised, valued and supported. Through information, advocacy, wellbeing support and opportunities for connection, we help carers navigate challenges, access support and achieve their own aspirations alongside their caring role.

Established in 1996, Angus Carers Centre has grown to support almost 2,000 adult and young carers across Angus each year. Our dedicated team of 25 staff and over 20 volunteers are passionate about improving lives and ensuring carers' voices are heard at both a local and national level.

Our vision is that all unpaid carers in Angus receive the information, support and recognition they need to feel valued, confident and able to fulfil their own potential.

As we enter an exciting new chapter, there has never been a better time to join Angus Carers Centre. We are about to embark on a new strategic planning process that will shape our vision, priorities and direction for the next five years. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence that journey and help shape the future of support for unpaid carers across Angus.

OutLET is a Lanarkshire-based charity and social enterprise using nature to support emotional wellbeing, confidence and resilience. We deliver therapeutic forest school projects, community play and wellbeing programmes, and training for practitioners up to Forest School Leader level.

You'll help us identify opportunities for growth, innovation and expansion — whether that's through new partnerships, income streams, areas of work or ways of working.

We already have people who know how to deliver. We need someone who can help us think about where we go next.

You'll provide strategic oversight without being expected to do everything yourself. Our experienced Senior Leadership Team and established staff teams bring considerable knowledge and expertise. Your role will be to bring those strengths together, create space for good ideas and turn ambition into action.

You'll also lead on governance, organisational sustainability, people and culture, marketing and communications, and representing OutLET with partners, funders and stakeholders.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who is:

• Innovative - curious, creative and willing to challenge conventional thinking.
• Strategic - able to see the bigger picture and turn vision into action.
• Entrepreneurial - able to spot opportunities and explore new approaches.

• Authentic - leads with honesty, openness and integrity.
• People-focused - understands that great organisations are built around people who feel valued and supported.

You don't need to be an outdoor learning expert - our team already has that expertise. What we need is the leadership, curiosity and imagination to help us make the most of it.
