About our Service:

The Bridge Community Project story began in 2014 when a small group of people reflected on their own life struggles and decided to make a difference to the everyday wellbeing of people across West Lothian.

Overseen by a Board of Trustees, the foundations of the Charity are based on the aims of providing financial and emotional wellbeing to the local community. In our story, however, we seek to be different - not so much in what we do, but in how we go about providing our services.

Building on the principles of compassion and love, a decade on, we continue to seek to share the journey with our clients to see lasting hope and change. Our vision is to “improve the everyday wellbeing of the people of West Lothian.” We aim to do this by “providing practical and relational support to families and individuals.”

The Role:

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and visionary leader to drive our strategic vision and lead our Charity to new heights. The CEO will be responsible for the overall strategic direction and vision of the Charity, reporting to our Board of Trustees (BOT).

• Strategy and Development: Oversee thematic groups linked to strategic work plans.
• Financial Planning and Management: In conjunction with our Business Development Manager, ensure robust systems are in place for the financial management of the Charity.
• Operational Management: Oversee the Charity’s day-to-day operations, ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements.
• External Focus and Relationships: Enhance the Charity’s brand visibility and reputation through effective marketing strategies, including social media, public relations, and community outreach.

Candidate Profile:

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in nonprofit management, strategic development, and financial oversight. Experience in community-focused initiatives is highly desirable. The candidate should demonstrate excellent communication skills, the ability to inspire and lead a team, and a deep commitment to the values and mission of the Bridge Community Project. While previous experience as a CEO is advantageous, it is not essential.

Why Join Us?

• The opportunity to lead an established, well-respected Charity and make a tangible difference to the financial and emotional wellbeing of the West Lothian community.
• A supportive working environment with an exceptionally committed team.
• The chance to shape the future of the Charity and expand its impact.
