Job description

Location: Falkirk, Scotland, with travel across Care Visions services.

Working arrangement: Hybrid working with at least 3 days per week in the Falkirk Office.

We are not looking for someone to run HR. We are looking for someone to help build the organisation that Care Visions needs for the next decade.

About the role

Care Visions supports children, young people and families across Scotland. We are proud of what has been built over more than 25 years and ambitious about what comes next. We are now seeking an exceptional Chief People Officer to join our Executive Leadership Team and play a central role in shaping the organisation's next chapter. This is a strategic leadership appointment focused on organisational effectiveness, culture, leadership capability, workforce transformation and future readiness. Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will help strengthen leadership, build organisational capability and create the conditions for consistently high performance.

About you

We are interested in accomplished leaders from a broad range of sectors. Experience in social care is welcomed but is not essential.

You may have developed your career in a commercial, technology-enabled, private equity-backed, multi-site, regulated or purpose-led organisation.

What matters is your ability:

• Lead significant organisational and cultural transformation.
• Build leadership and organisational capability.
• Create clarity, accountability and high standards.
• Develop workforce, talent and succession strategies.
• Navigate complexity and make sound decisions.
• Use insight and technology to prepare organisations for the future.
• Combine empathy and purpose with commercial and operational judgement.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to influence strategy, shape culture and make a lasting contribution to an organisation whose work changes lives.

You will join the Executive Leadership Team at an important point in Care Visions' development, helping shape the organisation, its people and its future direction.
