Role

Lead real change for men’s mental health in Scotland.

Men Matter Scotland is a place of connection, community and care. Every day, over 100 men come through our doors looking for support with their mental health, tackling isolation, and finding a sense of purpose.

We are here to help them do just that , through peer support, practical activities, and a welcoming space to feel heard and valued.

Now, we are looking for a new Director to lead the organisation through our next chapter. Someone who understands what it takes to run a grassroots charity and who can balance people-focused leadership with clear strategic thinking.

This is a busy, varied role in a small but complex organization. You’ll be visible, hands-on, and deeply involved in the day-to-day life of Men Matter Scotland.

• Supporting a committed team of staff, sessional workers and over 30 active volunteers
• Managing relationships with local authorities, funders, and external partners
• Strengthening our internal systems, policies and processes
• Being a visible advocate for men’s mental health across Scotland

This is an opportunity to bring your leadership to a cause that matters. You will help shape our future while staying rooted in the community we support.

About you

We are looking for someone with senior leadership experience in the third sector, public sector or a similar environment.

You’ll bring:

• Experience of managing teams, finances and operations
• A good understanding of community development and the challenges of grassroots service delivery
• Knowledge of funding and income generation, especially local authority and trust funding
• The ability to build strong relationships, influence others and speak up for what matters.
• You’ll need to be someone who is comfortable managing complexity and juggling priorities, while always keeping people at the centre of your work.

What we offer

• Salary of £45,000 to £50,000 depending on experience
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays, plus extra leave at Christmas
• 3% employer pension contribution
