All roles at OPFS contribute to our mission of working with and for single parent families, providing support that enables them to achieve their potential and help create lasting solutions to the poverty and barriers facing many single parents and their children. Our core values of Justice, Equity, Trust, Collaboration and Compassion are at the heart of everything we do and underpin all aspects of our work.

About the role:

We are looking for a visionary and collaborative leader to help drive the implementation of our new strategy, policy development and communications at OPFS – the only national organisation dedicated to single parents in Scotland.

This role will shape public affairs and advocacy, support evidence-informed policy change, and lead our external communications. Working closely with the Chief Executive (CEO) and Senior Leadership Team (SLT), you will ensure that the voices of families and children shape decision-making and public discourse, and that OPFS remains a trusted and influential voice in Scotland.
