Corbenic Camphill Community is a home for people with social, emotional, intellectual and learning disabilities that provides day and residential care in the beautiful surroundings of rural Perthshire.
Since 1978, Corbenic has been providing a holistic residential environment where individuals live and work with others in healthy social relationships that are based on mutual care and respect. The environment is designed to meet the social, physical, emotional and economic needs of residents - supporting them to live independently while providing access to a wide range of care and support within a community environment.
Corbenic is a Scottish registered charity that has developed over the years into a community of around 120 people, with over 40 of whom being adults in need of special care.
Work is an integral part of life at Corbenic and is used to help the residents develop their full potential and providing them with a structure in shared life. Corbenic provides a wide variety of workshops including a farm, bakery, gardens, estates, woodwork and crafts. These workshops all help provide a sense of purpose, responsibility and dignity whilst contributing to the community’s overall functioning and sustainability. In this setting, residents live and work side by side with voluntary co-workers and employed staff with everybody participating in community life according to their abilities and interests.
While an independent charity, Corbenic is part of the International Camphill Movement for social renewal through community living. In over 100 Camphill locations worldwide, children, adolescents and adults in need of special care live and work together on an extended family basis, building communities that uphold in everyone a sense of integrity, dignity and worth.
Following a root and branch analysis of the services and structure of Corbenic, the board has decided to appoint a new Executive Director to lead improvements across the organisation.

There is a need to develop robust quality assurance processes for continuous improvement and promote the well-being and professional development of the staff. Another area for development will be the day service for 18 – 24-year-olds, extending the range of services and facilities available to the service users and upgrading the estate facilities. Key to the long-term success of Corbenic will be ensuring more involvement of residents and families in reviews and care plans and the Executive Director will be essential in the delivery of this.
Together with the chair, the Executive Director will support the board of trustees to fulfil its duties and responsibilities for the proper governance of the charity and to ensure that the board receives timely advice and appropriate information on all relevant matters.
To apply for the role of Executive Director at Corbenic, you must have a minimum of 3 years’ experience working successfully in a leadership role within a day and residential care home. Applicants are expected to show proven experience in leading and supporting the development and delivery of operational strategies and associated action plans. Working within care, you must know the principles of Social Care and experience of putting its theory into practice. Additionally, knowledge of all regulations that apply to the SSSC, Care Inspectorate, Local Authorities, OSCR and other regulatory bodies is essential. The Executive Director will bring extensive experience of organisational change with the ability to lead organisational development and restructuring and to accompany this they will have strong organisational and planning skills with a proven ability to manage competing demands effectively. This is a leadership position that reports to the Board and directly manages four departmental managers and requires someone with excellent interpersonal skills, communication and influencing skills with a proven ability to work with people at all levels within the organisation.

About Us
The Natural History Museum is both a world-leading science research centre and the most visited natural history museum in Europe. With a vision of a future in which both people and the planet thrive, it is uniquely positioned to be a powerful champion for balancing humanity's needs with those of the natural world.
It is custodian of one of the world's most important scientific collections comprising over 80 million specimens. The scale of this collection enables researchers from all over the world to document how species have and continue to respond to environmental changes - which is vital in helping predict what might happen in the future and informing future policies and plans to help the planet.
We are at a pivotal moment in our history as we launch a new strategy setting out our role as the natural world faces increasing threats. Building on our world-leading collection, global reputation for science and as one of the world's leading visitor attractions, the NHM has ambitious plans leading up to the 150 anniversary of the opening of the Waterhouse Building in 2031, making this a truly exciting time to be part of the NHM team.
About the role
You will generate and increase funding from two income streams - our growing Patrons programme and new Legacy strategy and programme. Our legacy initiative has been newly created and will need implementation to maximise income from gifts in Wills and In Memoriam giving.
The programme will need effective promotion, cultivation and stewardship of potential and confirmed legacy pledgers. The Patrons programme was relaunched in late 2019 with great success. It now needs to grow, and current Patrons need effective stewardship in order to retain them in the programme. You will provide the innovation needed to create a compelling and engaging programme, which will continue to build on the success of this relaunched programme.
Based in the Philanthropy team, you will work closely with a number of colleagues in the Development Group and across the Museum to raise the profile of the Patrons scheme and planned giving and to establish best practises. You will also be the Development Group's point of contact for gifts of objects/specimens to the Collection (through Wills or as lifetime gifts).
About you
You will bring strong creative, interpersonal and communications skills to this role, with excellent planning, administration, and process management abilities. You will be an innovative and creative thinker who is able to take ownership of these funding streams and grow this pool of supporters significantly.
Your successful, personal track record in legacy fundraising, membership scheme fundraising and donor development, and demonstrable experience of relationship cultivation and donor management, helps ensure that you have a sound understanding of the legal processes surrounding legacies.
