Lead a respected charity - Change lives - Create a Legacy

Advocacy North East (ANE) is an independent charity dedicated to ensuring that individuals who may be disadvantaged or at risk of exclusion have a voice in decisions that affect their lives.

For over 25 years we have supported people (and their carers) affected by mental illness, learning disability and problematic substance use to understand their rights, make informed choices and have their views heard in matters relating to their health and care.

As our leader prepares to retire, we are seeking an exceptional individual to become our Executive Manager and lead the organisation into its next chapter.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of a highly respected advocacy organisation with a strong reputation for independence, professionalism and person-centred support.

About the Role

This post is deemed to be a Regulated Role with Vulnerable Adults and Children and therefore recruitment is subject to satisfactory PVG Scheme Membership and references.

Reporting directly to the Board of Trustees, the Executive Manager will provide strategic and operational leadership across the organisation.

You will be responsible for:

• Delivering the organisation's strategic vision and objectives
• Leading and developing a skilled and committed staff team
• Ensuring the highest standards of advocacy practice, service quality and safeguarding
• Maintaining strong governance, risk management and regulatory compliance
• Managing budgets, contracts and organisational resources effectively

• A collaborative leader who can build strong relationships with staff, volunteers, the Board, commissioners, stakeholders and the community we serve.
• A confident decision-maker who demonstrates integrity, accountability and sound judgement.
• An individual with a genuine passion for empowering people to have their voices heard.

You should have a strong track record in organisational management, strategic development, financial management and people leadership.

Experience within the advocacy, third sector, health, social care or community sectors would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Join Advocacy North East?

This is far more than a management role. It is an opportunity to:

• Lead an organisation that changes lives every day
• Influence the future development of independent advocacy services across Scotland
• Build meaningful partnerships that improve outcomes for marginalised people
• Create a lasting legacy within a respected and trusted charity
