About The Neuro Therapy Place
The Neuro Therapy Place provides a therapeutic community hub where people living with neurological conditions can access a wide range of therapies, rehabilitation, wellbeing services, advice and support in a friendly and welcoming environment.
Our services include physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, rehabilitation and wellbeing programmes, complementary therapies, alongside referrals and partnership working with other organisations. We are committed to delivering high quality, person centred services while ensuring the long term sustainability and growth of the charity.
Purpose of the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to lead our organisation at a pivotal stage in its development. Following a period of significant organisational development and transformation, The Neuro Therapy Place is entering its next phase of growth, focused on sustainability, external partnership development and excellence in service delivery.
We welcome applications from both experienced Chief Executive Officers seeking a new challenge and ambitious senior leaders who are ready to take the next step into executive leadership.
The appointment made will reflect the successful candidate's experience, skills and readiness for the role:
- Experienced CEOs: or candidates with demonstrable CEO-level capability, may be appointed directly as Chief Executive Officer.
- Aspiring CEOs: will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer and supported through a structured succession and development programme.
Experience of working at senior management, Head of Service, Director, CEO or Deputy CEO level would be advantageous.
Transition
As part of the Board's planned succession arrangements, the current Chief Executive Officer will provide a comprehensive leadership transition and organisational handover and will be available for up to three months following the appointment of the successful candidate, providing mentoring, knowledge transfer and strategic support. The duration and level of support will be tailored to the needs of the successful candidate and the organisation.
The salary range of £35,000–£46,500 reflects the breadth of experience, skills and capability we are seeking for this role. The starting salary will be determined based on the successful candidate’s experience, expertise and the level at which they are appointed. Following the successful transition of the outgoing CEO, the Board will undertake a review of your salary. This review will provide an opportunity to discuss your contribution, responsibilities and future role with the organisation, and may result in a salary increase beyond the advertised range. Any changes would be discussed and agreed between you and the Board.
Responsibility for the full range of CEO duties and accountabilities will progressively increase throughout the handover period, with full responsibility for the role transferring upon the departure of the current CEO.
This is a fully onsite leadership role, reflecting the nature of The Neuro Therapy Place’s services, the importance of visible and accessible leadership, and the need to work closely with clients, staff, volunteers and partners. The successful candidate should be comfortable working primarily from our centre as part of the planned leadership transition.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including enhanced occupational sick pay, enhanced parental leave, life insurance, and access to Edinburgh Leisure gyms at a heavily subsidised rate.
