These plans will take them beyond the walls of Leuchie House and bring passion and expertise into communities around the country. Extending their purpose, creating new levels of income and as a result make them a bigger and more complex charity.

This is a job with real purpose in an organisation that makes a significant difference to people‘s lives.

Maintaining strong financial controls and keeping up to date with charity reporting will also be key whilst working closely with the CEO both in relation to the existing operation and the new strategy to grow “beyond the walls”.

As a key leader you need to have as wide an interest as possible in all activities and will deputise for the CEO from time to time.
