The charity has been a national leader in epilepsy support for over seven decades, combining front-line services with policy influence, education, and awareness-raising.
As an organisation, Epilepsy Scotland is deeply committed to tackling stigma, challenging inequalities, and offering person-centred services that empower people to manage their condition and live life to the fullest.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you will oversee the organisation’s front-line services, ensuring they are responsive, evidence-based, and aligned with the changing needs of people living with epilepsy across Scotland.
This role calls for a confident leader who is equally comfortable working at a strategic level and managing the detail of day-to-day operations. The services currently offered include Emotional Wellbeing for Adults, a Welfare Rights Service, Youth Work Service and a National Helpline.
Key Responsibilities:
- Service Leadership: Provide strategic and operational leadership across Epilepsy Scotland’s services, fostering a culture of empathy, excellence, and innovation.

- Monitoring & Evaluation: Oversee the implementation of project plans and evaluation frameworks that track outcomes, ensure quality, and support funding compliance.
- Partnership Working: Build and sustain collaborative relationships with statutory and voluntary sector partners to enhance service delivery and reach.
- Safeguarding & Risk Management: Lead on safeguarding across all services, ensuring staff are trained, policies are up to date, and all activities are risk assessed appropriately.
- Budgeting & Reporting: Prepare service budgets, manage expenditure, and contribute to funding bids and reports for funders, trustees, and external stakeholders.
- Organisational Contribution: Work closely with the CEO and other senior colleagues to contribute to strategic planning, organisational development, and advocacy priorities.

You may have a background in health, social care, youth work, or another area of community support — but most importantly, you are someone who leads with compassion and integrity.
You will bring a well-rounded set of leadership, operational, and interpersonal skills, and you’ll thrive in a collaborative environment where you can balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.
Experience and Skills:
- A minimum of three years’ experience in managing multi-disciplinary teams, preferably in the voluntary, health, or social care sector.
- A proven ability to lead service design and delivery, manage budgets, and report on outcomes.
- Experience working in partnerships and with external stakeholders, including funders.
