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). This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of our Charity and make a significant impact on the local community.
Key Responsibilities:
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.
