MND Scotland is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to supporting people with MND, their families, and friends.

Since being founded over forty years ago, MND Scotland has provided practical, financial and emotional support to anyone affected by MND whilst also funding essential research into finding effective treatments and a cure.

MND Scotland is funded entirely by donations and grants. The charity’s patron is Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal.

Everything we do and the way that we do it puts the MND community at its core.

As a member of the Senior Leadership team (SLT), the Head of Finance and Operations will work strategically and collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders to support the development and implementation of our strategic and business planning processes.

You will provide financial challenge across the organisation, embedding a culture of continuous improvement and efficiency and ensuring every penny our supporters raise is utilised for the best outcomes of people affected by MND.

You will be an experienced manager with considerable finance and administrative experience, preferably with a good knowledge of HR operations. You will also be experienced in working within a charity structure and will have a strong passion and commitment to help improve the lives of people affected by motor neuron disease (MND) across Scotland.

Together we will make time count.

The role

Young Scot is seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial and delivery-focused leader to help shape and drive a step-change in how we generate income and build partnerships.
