Fair Deal is an award-winning Social Enterprise providing support for people with learning disabilities and additional support needs. Established over 30 years ago we have been recognised for our groundbreaking work. Based in Glasgow, we work alongside the people we support, to help them have the kind of life they want. At Fair Deal we are committed to personalised individual support arrangements enabling people to build and maintain the life they choose.

Our three core values are Empowering, Innovative and Encouraging. These three values are essential for anyone joining the organisation. We have a proud culture of inclusion and transparency, and we are looking for someone who will lead with their values. We consider our core values and the people we support first and build systems and processes around them – not the other way around.

This is a new post within the Leadership Team at Fair Deal to further strengthen and develop the organisations reach and capacity to deliver innovative services.

It’s an exciting time for the organisation as we have lots of development plans. If you feel your values and skills are a match for us, we would love to hear from you!
