Lead a respected charity - Change lives - Create a Legacy

Advocacy North East (ANE) is an independent charity dedicated to ensuring that individuals who may be disadvantaged or at risk of exclusion have a voice in decisions that affect their lives.

For over 25 years we have supported people (and their carers) affected by mental illness, learning disability and problematic substance use to understand their rights, make informed choices and have their views heard in matters relating to their health and care.

As our leader prepares to retire, we are seeking an exceptional individual to become our Executive Manager and lead the organisation into its next chapter.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of a highly respected advocacy organisation with a strong reputation for independence, professionalism and person-centred support.

About the Role

This post is deemed to be a Regulated Role with Vulnerable Adults and Children and therefore recruitment is subject to satisfactory PVG Scheme Membership and references.

Reporting directly to the Board of Trustees, the Executive Manager will provide strategic and operational leadership across the organisation.

You will be responsible for:

• Delivering the organisation's strategic vision and objectives
• Leading and developing a skilled and committed staff team
• Ensuring the highest standards of advocacy practice, service quality and safeguarding
• Maintaining strong governance, risk management and regulatory compliance
• Managing budgets, contracts and organisational resources effectively
• Developing sustainable funding and income opportunities
• Building productive relationships with commissioners, partners, funders and stakeholders
• Acting as an ambassador for Advocacy North East locally and nationally
• Promoting a positive culture based on inclusion, collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement

You will work closely with the Board to ensure the organisation remains financially sustainable, strategically focused and responsive to the changing needs of the communities we serve.

About You

We are looking for a values-driven leader who combines strategic vision with practical management experience.  You will be:

· An effective strategic thinker who can balance operational delivery with long-term organisational sustainability.

· A collaborative leader who can build strong relationships with staff, volunteers, the Board, commissioners, stakeholders and the community we serve.

· A confident decision-maker who demonstrates integrity, accountability and sound judgement.

· An individual with a genuine passion for empowering people to have their voices heard.

You should have a strong track record in organisational management, strategic development, financial management and people leadership.

Experience within the advocacy, third sector, health, social care or community sectors would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Join Advocacy North East?

This is far more than a management role. It is an opportunity to:

• Lead an organisation that changes lives every day
• Influence the future development of independent advocacy services across Scotland
• Build meaningful partnerships that improve outcomes for marginalised people
• Create a lasting legacy within a respected and trusted charity

If you are an inspiring leader who shares our commitment to independence, empowerment, inclusion and respect, we would love to hear from you.

Interviews: Early August 2026

Anticipated Start Date: September 2026 (with handover period available)

Are you looking for a rewarding role working for an intersectional feminist organisation? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you to join our team as a Multiple Disadvantage Refuge Worker at Solace Women's Aid.

We exist to end the harm done through gender-based violence. Our aim is to work to prevent violence and abuse, as well as providing services to meet the individual needs of survivors, particularly women and children. Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to achieve independent lives, free from abuse.

Our core values reflect our history and were developed in consultation with staff and service users. Feminism and intersectionality are key to our work, and we are committed to the principles of being survivor-led, trauma-informed, empowering, diverse, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory.
