Because every child deserves a fair start in life.

At Home-Start Edinburgh, we believe in the power of early intervention and the life-changing potential of strong, nurturing relationships. We're here for families with young children in Edinburgh facing challenging circumstances—whether it’s isolation, mental health struggles, or financial insecurity. Our skilled volunteers work alongside these families, empowering them to thrive. Now, we’re looking for a Chief Executive Officer to join our dedicated team and help us continue delivering this vital mission.

About the Role

The CEO is responsible for implementing our strategic plan, which enables support to over 400 families a year through 1:1 and group work support. You will manage a team of staff and work collaboratively with partners to ensure families in Edinburgh get the right support at the right time. You will also work alongside Home-Start Edinburgh’s trustees to ensure the organisation is well governed, and participate in the Home-Start network both within Scotland and the UK.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a supportive yet purposeful team of staff and volunteers, which enables them to perform at their best
• Develop relationships within the sector to enable Home-Start to be part of an ecosystem of support for families
• Ensure the charity is operationally well managed
• Work with the Board of Directors to support strategic governance
• Collaborate with Home-Start network, following systems and processes to ensure Home-Start Edinburgh performs at its best

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone with:

• Knowledge and experience of charity leadership
• Knowledge and experience of the early years sector
• A flexible and adaptable personality that can respond to business needs as they arise
• A consistent and reliable work ethic

Why Join Home-Start Edinburgh?

At Home-Start Edinburgh, we believe:

• Early childhood matters. Healthy development – from conception to infancy and beyond - provides the foundation for future learning, behaviour and health. It is the launchpad for a child to become a happy and well-functioning adult.
• Empowerment and enjoyment are key. Families thrive when parents feel confident, have nurturing relationships with their children, and the whole family can experience the joy of life together.
• Needs-based and responsive support. We listen to families and provide flexible support based on their needs and challenges. No two families are the same and we work to address individual needs and support families as long as they need us.
• We believe in the power of relationships. Our volunteers support nurturing relationships in the families they support, and we work in partnership with others who share our values and our vision.

You’ll be part of a small, mission-driven team with the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution. We’re proud of the impact we make together and we want someone who shares our belief that childhood can’t wait.
