Role

As CEO, you will lead a complex, national organisation of scale and impact. Working within the governance framework of the Church of Scotland, you will provide strategic, values-led leadership across all aspects of the organisation. You will guide CrossReach through a dynamic and evolving social care landscape, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, sustainable services that respond to the needs of individuals and communities across Scotland. 

You will provide visible and authentic faith leadership, embedding the Christian ethos at the heart of culture, strategy, and service delivery, while also ensuring strong financial stewardship and long-term organisational sustainability. A central part of your role will be to drive service excellence, maintaining a clear focus on quality, outcomes, and continuous improvement. You will inspire and lead a dedicated workforce, fostering a culture of engagement, purpose and care, and you will represent CrossReach at a national level as a credible and influential voice with government, regulators, partners, and the wider Church. 

This role demands both outstanding executive capability and a deep sense of vocation. You will be a strategic thinker and a compassionate leader, equally comfortable navigating complexity at a national level and connecting meaningfully with staff, service users and communities. 

At a time of significant change and opportunity within Scotland’s social care sector, this is your chance to lead an organisation with a proud Christian heritage while shaping its future impact for generations to come. 

As we do our work in Christ’s name the job you have applied for requires you to have a Christian faith and be able to work within and uphold our Christian Ethos. This is an Occupational Requirement under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.
