The CEO of JustRight Scotland is the organisation’s strategic lead, with oversight of our four centres of legal excellence and our policy, communications and participation work.

This is intended to ensure wellbeing, innovation and adaptive capacity at leadership level, aligned with shared values and strategy. The CEO will therefore work closely with the Legal Directors, building on their significant expertise, ensuring a clear and consistent organisational voice.
