- Hybrid: Glasgow/Edinburgh
- Closing 12th April 2026
Victim Support Scotland (VSS) is the leading independent charity supporting people affected by crime across Scotland. Every year, thousands of victims, witnesses and families rely on us for emotional, practical and financial support during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
But we are more than a service provider. We are a national voice. A critical friend to government. An advocate for victims’ rights. A catalyst for justice reform.
We are now seeking an exceptional Chief Executive to lead our organisation into its next chapter.
The Opportunity
This is one of the most significant CEO roles in Scotland’s third sector.
Reporting to the Chair and Board, the Chief Executive will provide visible, values-led leadership to an organisation of national scale and influence. You will lead more than 100 staff and hundreds of volunteers, steward significant public funding, and represent VSS at the highest levels of government, justice agencies, regulators and the media.
You will ensure that Victim Support Scotland remains:
- A trusted, influential voice within Scotland’s justice landscape.
- A high-performing, trauma-informed organisation.
- Financially sustainable and operationally robust.
- Governed to the highest standards of charity law and regulatory compliance.
Above all, you will ensure that victims and witnesses remain at the heart of everything we do.
About You
We are looking for a proven, strategic leader with experience operating at Chief Executive (or equivalent senior) level within a complex, publicly accountable environment.
You will bring:
- Experience leading organisations with public profile and reputational sensitivity.
- The credibility and presence to operate confidently at national level.
- Demonstrable experience working closely with Boards and Trustees.
- Strong knowledge of governance, risk and regulatory frameworks.
- A track record of influencing senior stakeholders and policy-makers.
- Experience overseeing the development, delivery and evaluation of services to ensure consistent, measurable impact at local and national scale.
You will combine strategic judgement with emotional intelligence. You will be politically astute, externally influential and values-driven and you will lead with compassion in a sector that demands resilience, clarity and integrity.
Why This Role Matters
Crime affects lives in profound and lasting ways. The next Chief Executive of Victim Support Scotland will help shape how Scotland responds - not only through high-quality support services, but by influencing how justice is delivered, how policy evolves, and how victims’ rights are upheld. This is leadership with purpose, responsibility and national significance.
If you are motivated by the opportunity to lead an organisation that makes a tangible difference every day - and to shape the future of victim support in Scotland - we would be delighted to hear from you.

About Clan Childlaw
Clan wants a Scotland where all children and young people’s rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled. For that to happen, Scotland has to be a place where all children and young people can stand up for their rights. That means children and young people need:
- Lawyers that are experts in working with children
- People around them who can enable them to use their rights and amplify their voices
- To be respected as rights-holders, who are entitled to hold duty-bearers to account if their rights are not fulfilled.
Clan is an award-winning, independent children’s charity that actively supports children and young people to take ownership of their rights. We are the only charity in Scotland that provides free, independent legal representation exclusively for children and young people, which is child-centred by design. Because our lawyers work directly with children and young people whose lives are affected by legal decisions, we bring that unique practice-based knowledge to every aspect of our work. This includes our specialist training, our helpline supporting others who help children to use their voices and their rights, and our work to influence children’s rights respecting changes to practice, policy and law.
What We Do
- We stand with others who help children use their rights –
Through our membership and training for legal professionals and in legal education we are making being a “children’s lawyer” an accredited legal skill set in Scotland. Our practical training and helpline and support for advocacy in Children’s Hearings provides adults that support children and young people information and guidance that they can use to empower young people to stand up for their rights.
- We stand out through the excellence of our work –
We want our work to have as much impact as possible. We listen to what children and young people tell us about what they need from lawyers and others who support them to use their rights. We use what we learn to develop and design the services they need and talk about why young people’s rights matter, and why children and young people need lawyers.
- We stand for change –
We are lawyers for children and young people representing children and young people in court, at Children’s Hearings, and in important meetings working to give them equal opportunity to heard and use their rights. We take cases that make change for individual children and young people and help shape better rights respecting policy and practice. We use our knowledge of the law, and experience as practising lawyers for children and young people, to ask decision makers and lawmakers to change the law and the way the law is used to make sure that children and young people's rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.
Our Values
Our values are the principles we uphold in all our work, no matter what. They are the foundation of our workplace culture. Everyone who works at Clan shows our values in all they do and say.
We are supportive: We listen and respond, we provide encouragement and emotional help to children and young people, to others who support young people, and to each other.
We are bold: We are confident and courageous in amplifying the voices of children and young people. We are prepared to take risks when we need to, to defend children and young people’s rights.
We are dynamic: We are always active, always progressing. We are positive, full of energy and new ideas. We ask for change where it is needed.
