You'll lead a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, creating an environment where people feel valued, respected and empowered.

A key part of the role will be overseeing an engaging programme of wellbeing activities, groups and events that reduce social isolation, promote recovery and strengthen community connections.

  • Lead and support a team to deliver exceptional services.
  • Provide supervision, coaching and workforce development.
  • Develop partnerships with statutory and third-sector organisations.
  • Monitor service quality, performance and outcomes.
  • Drive innovation, service improvement and community engagement.
  • Contribute to budget management and service planning.
  • Promote participation, inclusion and positive risk enablement.

About you

We're looking for someone who can bring energy, leadership and a passion for supporting people to thrive.

You'll have:

  • Experience leading or supervising staff and/or volunteers.
  • Experience within mental health, wellbeing, social care, community development or similar settings.
  • Experience developing and delivering community activities, programmes or events.
  • Experience supporting individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
  • Strong partnership-working skills.
  • Experience monitoring quality and performance.
  • The ability to motivate teams and create a positive culture.
  • Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills.

Qualifications

Essential:

  • SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, Community Development, Mental Health or equivalent.
  • Commitment to continuous professional development.

Desirable:

  • Degree recognised by the CLD Standards Council for Scotland or working towards one.

We offer a competitive benefits package including:

  • Generous annual leave entitlement
  • Pension scheme
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Learning and development opportunities
  • Family-friendly policies
  • Recognition and wellbeing initiatives
