Top job! Chief Executive Officer
- Part time
- £62,500 pro-rata
- On site: Edinburgh
- Closing 3rd April 2026
For decades, FetLor Youth Club has been a cornerstone of north Edinburgh, providing young people with the support, opportunities and relationships that help them thrive. Rooted in the community it serves, FetLor has built a well-earned reputation for outstanding youth work that makes a real and lasting difference to young lives.
We are now entering an exciting new chapter. As we evolve towards a hub model of partnership working, we are looking for an exceptional leader to help us maximise our impact, extend our reach and ensure young people in north Edinburgh are supported holistically.
The Role
This is a rare opportunity to lead a much-loved and highly respected organisation through a period of meaningful change. As CEO, you will be the driving force behind FetLor’s strategic direction, its partnerships and the continued development of its talented team.
You will be accountable for three core areas: leading the FetLor team, building and sustaining partnerships that strengthen the support available to young people, and creating a strategic plan that ensures the long-term sustainability of the organisation.
This is a hands-on, visible leadership role that calls for someone who is as comfortable building relationships with funders and partners as they are supporting and inspiring the people around them.
About You
You will bring proven leadership experience and a genuine passion for improving the lives of young people. You will know how to build and sustain effective partnerships, manage competing financial demands and lead an organisation through change with confidence and care.
Experience in the third sector is helpful but not essential — what matters most is your values, your vision and your ability to bring people with you.
You will also bring, or be willing to develop, experience in fundraising, as securing sustainable income will be a key part of this role.
What We Offer
- A salary of £50,000 (pro rata from an FTE of £62,500)
- 30 hours per week with some flexibility in how these are worked
- 30 days annual leave plus public holidays
- The opportunity to lead a genuinely impactful organisation at a pivotal moment
- A passionate, committed team and a supportive Board of Trustees
