This is a fantastic opportunity to lead an Aberdeen charity which employs a team of around 15 staff who are assisted by up to 100 volunteers.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive role is a key leadership role to ensure the sustainability of our much needed support service for young children and their families in Aberdeen. Our current strategy takes us through to 2024 with a focus on core support services, developing our group work, building on the success of our charity shop and reinforcing our strong foundations.

We operate as an independent company with annual expenditure of £500,000 and enjoy the benefits of being part of a nationwide network under the umbrella of Home-Start UK.
