The charity and social enterprise, Braveheart Industries, have been on an evolving trajectory. The intention has always been to develop an independence of the charity from its origins within the violence reduction unit. In 2019, the Board and the VRU began a process of Business Planning, supported by Community Enterprise in Scotland. Those developments were quickly overshadowed by the Covid pandemic and its impact on the business. The new Chief Operating Officer will lead the vibrant recovery of the charity.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to adapt your communicative skills to suit various situations.
• A strategic thinker with the ability to implement new and diversifying processes.
• Knowledge of the voluntary sector and/or commercial enterprises.
• The ability to create positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and partners.
The main objective for this role will be to develop new and viable business opportunities for the social enterprises. The post also includes responsibility for business planning, staffing, budgetary control, on-time delivery, quality control, health and safety, marketing, liaison with partners and stakeholder and customer satisfaction.
This is an exciting new opportunity for someone to really put their own stamp on the charity and drive it forward to where it can be. If you believe you have what it takes or have the transferable skills to become the new Chief Operating Officer of Braveheart Industries, then we want to hear from you.
