An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and experienced manager to oversee the day-to-day management of Cruse Scotland South Area, this includes our teams in Edinburgh, The Lothians, The Scottish Borders, Forth Valley and Stirling.
Candidates are required to have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills to provide volunteer managerial support, which is often provided from a distance.
Excellent communication skills are essential as the postholder is required to respond effectively to a wide range of enquiries which includes bereaved people. You will be required to establish effective working relationships with a range of Cruse Scotland volunteers and staff, as well as funders and partnership organisations. Experience of volunteer management would be advantageous.
Due to the geographical spread of the role, from time to time the postholder will be required to travel to each of the service bases within South Area; and to other locations within Scotland for meetings and training.
Whilst the role is hybrid, we have an office base in Leith, so there will be a regular requirement to have a routine presence in the office.
Interviews will be held in Leith on Monday 1 December 2025.
