The Borders Carers Centre is a well-regarded and successful charity/organisation. We provide tailored information, advice, emotional and practical support to young people and adults who look after a relative or friend who, due to illness, disability, mental health conditions or addiction, could not manage without their help.
We are seeking a creative, entrepreneurial individual with a successful track record of leadership, ideally as a Manager, to achieve our ambitions as the leading organisation supporting Unpaid Carers throughout the Scottish Borders.
You will be a person with enthusiasm, determination, vision and superb interpersonal and team building skills. You will be able to provide a strong visible presence to statutory partners as well as all stakeholders, engendering trust and confidence and giving clarity to our vision and mission.
As our Manager, you must be passionate about improving the lives of Unpaid Carers and have a proven record in strategic leadership as well as the ability to meet the challenges of attracting and managing resources in an uncertain environment. It is critical that the person appointed has the ability to lead and develop staff to provide excellent and agile services.
The successful candidate should be able to demonstrate the flair to initiate innovative new projects as well as manage and develop our existing range of services, including those in which we take a leading role with partners. Knowledge and experience in the Health & Social Care Sector and knowledge of the voluntary sector is essential.
We would particularly like to hear from you if you have three years’ leadership experience as Manager at a senior level and proven ability to motivate, develop, delegate and lead a team.
