Chief Executive, Inclusion Scotland

Location: Edinburgh (Remote)

Salary: 53,635- 57,767

Inclusion Scotland is a national network of disabled people, their organisations and allies. Through our partnership we reach large numbers of disabled people across Scotland. At Inclusion Scotland, we believe that all disabled people should have the same freedom, choice, dignity and control as other citizens at home, at work and in the community. It does not necessarily mean living by yourself or fending for yourself, it means rights to practical assistance and support to participate in society and live an ordinary life.

We are seeking to appoint a Chief Executive who can lead our organisation in accordance with our values to effect positive change. As Chief Executive, you will have responsibility for ensuring that Inclusion Scotland links into the strategic planning and policy-making processes of local and national government, and other public, private and Third Sector partners in relation to independent living issues. You will continue to build Inclusion Scotland as a membership organisation, developing and implementing its strategy and providing the Board of Directors with key information and policy recommendations.

You will share our commitment to ensuring the needs, rights and aspirations of disabled people and their organisations are at the heart of everything Inclusion Scotland does, working with and through our members and partners, programmes and projects to provide opportunities for influence, support and capacity building. As an experienced leader, you will be a motivational communicator who will inspire others to live our organisation's values - and ensure that these values underpin everything we do.

If you have the leadership skills, drive and compassion to take Inclusion Scotland on the next part of our journey as we strive to improve the lives of disabled people in Scotland, we'd love to hear from you.

Applications in the form of a tailored CV and covering letter, highlighting your skills and experience pertinent to the role, should arrive no later than midnight Thursday 11 January 2024
