We are a member-led charity with more than 8,000 members. We are supported by over 500 volunteers and employ around 400 full and part-time staff, mainly in our direct service provision across Scotland. We are fully committed to Fair Work First and the support and development of our people.

We are seeking applicants with a proven track record in leadership within a health and social care service (or related) background to work in this key senior role and make a positive difference to the lives of people living with dementia, those at greater risk of dementia, and the families and friends who care for someone with dementia.
Based in Inverness, the role will lead and manage local teams in a variety of locations and services. Full details about the role are provided in the job description available through the link provided.
