Job Description

Bield is seeking a dynamic and visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead one of Scotland's foremost organisations dedicated to supporting independent living for older people. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of housing and support services, ensuring that older adults across Scotland can choose to live with independently within their own homes and communities.

With over 50 years of experience, Bield is positioning itself at the forefront of providing innovative housing and support services tailored to empower older people to live independently. Our commitment to delivering high-quality, adaptable homes and exceptional care services has earned us prestigious accolades, including the TIS Housing Association of the Year award. Managing over 4,600 homes and supporting over 6,000 tenants, we aim to create inclusive communities where wellbeing and independence thrive.

As CEO, you will lead Bield through an exciting phase of growth and transformation. Collaborating closely with the Board of Management, you will bring our ambitious strategy to life, ensuring financial sustainability and driving innovation through tenant-led housing solutions. Your role will be pivotal in championing our "Aging in Place" agenda, fostering strong partnerships, and influencing national policy to position Bield as a leader in housing for older people and social care sectors.

We are looking for a seasoned leader with substantial senior management experience, ideally within the not-for-profit or social housing sector. Your ability to develop and implement strategy, coupled with expertise in financial management, governance, and stakeholder collaboration, will be critical. A passion for diversity, inclusion, and tenant-centred services is essential, as is your drive to inspire and empower a talented workforce of over 700 dedicated employees.

This role is based in Edinburgh, with a hybrid working model offering flexibility. The remuneration package includes a competitive salary of £126,000, a car allowance, an attractive pension scheme, and 35 days of annual leave.

If you share our vision of creating vibrant diverse communities where people of all ages are respected and empowered to lead fulfilling lives, we encourage you to apply. Join Bield and play a vital role in shaping a brighter future for Scotland's older population.
