Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO Successor)
The Neuro Therapy Place
Full time
On site: Edinburgh
£35,000
37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday. Salary will be reviewed upon appointment to the Chief Executive Officer role.
Closing 3 September 2026
Advertised from 23 July 2026

Role

This role has been created as part of our planned CEO succession. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will progress to the Chief Executive Officer role following a structured handover period. The timing of the transition will depend on the successful candidate's experience, skills and readiness for the role. Salary will be reviewed and increased on appointment as CEO to reflect the responsibilities of the position.

About The Neuro Therapy Place

The Neuro Therapy Place provides a therapeutic community hub where people living with neurological conditions can access a wide range of therapies, rehabilitation, wellbeing services, advice and support in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Our services include physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, rehabilitation and wellbeing programmes, complementary therapies, alongside referrals and partnership working with other organisations. We are committed to delivering high quality, person centred services while ensuring the long term sustainability and growth of the charity.

Purpose of the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join The Neuro Therapy Place as Deputy Chief Executive Officer, with a planned pathway to become Chief Executive Officer.

Following a period of significant organisational development and transformation, The Neuro Therapy Place is entering its next phase of growth, focused on sustainability, external partnership development and excellence in service delivery.

Transition and Prohibition Period

The current Chief Executive Officer has advised the Board of Trustees of their intention to step down from the role. As part of a planned leadership transition, the successful candidate will work closely with the CEO during an agreed handover and development period before progressing into the Chief Executive Officer role, subject to satisfactory performance and Board approval. 

To support a smooth transition, there will be a three-month handover period working alongside the current Chief Executive Officer prior to their departure. During this time, the incoming CEO will gain a comprehensive understanding of the organisation, its strategic priorities, operations, and key stakeholder relationships.

Responsibility for the full range of CEO duties and accountabilities will progressively increase throughout the handover period, with full responsibility for the role transferring upon the departure of the current CEO.

This is a fully onsite leadership role, reflecting the nature of The Neuro Therapy Place’s services, the importance of visible and accessible leadership, and the need to work closely with clients, staff, volunteers and partners. The Chief Executive Officer role is also a fully onsite position, and the successful candidate should be comfortable working primarily from our centre as part of the planned leadership transition.
