Why this role matters

Access to justice is under increasing pressure.

Across Scotland, people face housing insecurity, poverty, welfare challenges and barriers to accessing legal advice and representation. At the same time, legal aid, public policy and public service reform are reshaping the environment in which social justice organisations operate.

For more than 35 years, Legal Services Agency (LSA) has worked to ensure people can understand and exercise their rights. Through specialist legal representation, public legal education, strategic litigation, policy work and partnerships, we help secure life-changing outcomes for individuals while contributing to wider social change.

We are seeking a new Chief Executive Officer to lead LSA into its next chapter.

This is an opportunity to lead one of Scotland's leading law centres at a pivotal time for access to justice. Working closely with our Board, Senior Management Team and the Partners who lead our legal services, you will help ensure LSA remains financially sustainable, strategically influential and ambitious in delivering its mission.

• An appreciation of the role specialist legal services, legal aid and strategic litigation play in addressing inequality and social injustice.
• Experience of working within, or alongside, regulated professional services would be advantageous.

What you'll do

• Lead the delivery of our organisational strategy and future development.
• Support strong governance, accountability and organisational effectiveness.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, gets the detail right and understands how effective governance, compliance and corporate support help an organisation to thrive.

You will also lead and support a small team, building confidence and clarity in how we deliver corporate services. We are looking for someone with sound judgement, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with colleagues, Board members, regulators and partners.

You do not need to have worked in housing before, although knowledge of the social housing sector and the Scottish Housing Regulator’s framework would be helpful. What matters most is that you bring strong governance experience, excellent writing and organisational skills, a proactive approach to improvement and a genuine commitment to our values and purpose.

At Clyde Valley, you will join a caring, people-centred organisation that is ambitious for our customers, communities and colleagues. We work hard, care deeply about doing things well and value people who bring positivity, collaboration, integrity and a passion for excellent service.

If you can combine attention to detail with big-picture thinking, and want to help make governance and corporate services better, simpler and more effective, we would love to hear from you.

In return, Clyde Valley Group offer a great remuneration and benefits package, including generous holidays and flexible working arrangements, an on-site gym and training and development opportunities.

We are delighted to be recruiting for a Head of Income and Engagement to join our fundraising team on a 13-month fixed-term contract, providing maternity cover.

The Home has been a safe haven to stray animals since 1883, and still rescues over a thousand lost or abandoned dogs and cats every year. The Home benefits from skills and experience of our 50+ strong staff, comprised of long-serving kennel and cattery experts and enthusiastic new talent. Our small team is united by the love and dedication towards the animals in our care, and the belief that any dog or cat that comes to our door, whatever the reason, should be safe, warm, and well-fed.

This new role will lead the fundraising team to grow existing income streams, establish new income streams and fundraising activities, to deliver growth, to position us as a c.£3M charity by the end of 2027.

Could you help us shape what's next?

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.

We've built a strong reputation for doing things differently, developed innovative programmes and training, built trusted relationships with partners and funders and, perhaps most importantly, assembled an experienced, committed and stable team who genuinely care about what they do.

Now we're ready for the next chapter.

We're looking for an innovative, strategic and big-picture thinker to become our new CEO and help us explore just how far OutLET could go.

This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to maintain the status quo. We're looking for someone who sees possibilities where others see barriers; who can spot opportunities, bring people with them and turn good ideas into practical action.

The Role

As CEO, you'll work closely with our Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team to lead OutLET's strategic direction, organisational development and long-term sustainability.

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.
• Collaborative - able to bring people together and get the best from a team.
• 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.

*This post is subject to membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and satisfactory PVG Scheme Record/Update. The successful candidate will be required to undergo the appropriate Disclosure Scotland vetting checks prior to appointment.*

Why OutLET?

You'll be joining an organisation with:

• A strong reputation - established, trusted and known for doing things differently.
• An experienced and stable team - people with deep knowledge, expertise and commitment.
• Real potential for growth - exciting opportunities to develop our work, reach more people and explore new possibilities.
• Space to innovate - we're open to new ideas and different ways of working.
• A family-first approach - we recognise that people have lives outside work.
• Flexible working - we're open to discussing hours and working patterns with the right person.
