In establishing The Gannochy Trust in 1937, AK Bell brought benefits to Perthshire and Scotland which are maintained to this day. Properties transferred to the Trust and still managed by it were the Gannochy housing estate and substantial other grounds for community and recreational purposes. The Trust’s funds included shares in the Bell’s Whisky Company, which were latterly invested prudently over a wide spectrum of investments and have grown significantly over the years, allowing approximately £5m p.a. of grants to be awarded. In 1967, the geographic footprint of the Trust’s donations was widened and now encompasses the whole of Scotland.
The Trust’s strategic plan supports the objectives that were set out by AK Bell in the Trust Deed. This includes providing affordable, high quality housing, an estate that protects and enhances green spaces and ensures good agricultural husbandry, improving community life through the use of Trust’s assets, grant giving and an efficiently run Trust through people development and management of resources. The Chief Executive works closely with the Trustees to discharge these responsibilities, with the Chief Executive helping develop strategies and being responsible for their implementation and for managing the Trust’s wide range of operations.
The Chief Executive will be appointed for their interest, passion and concern for the primary vision of the Trust, as well as the overall contribution they can make with their skills and knowledge to the future development and success of the Trust. He / she will have knowledge and understanding of the environment and sectors that the Trust operates within the region and in Scotland. The successful candidate should also have experience in developing and influencing strategy and policy across a wide range of relevant subjects as well as experience of charitable and community funding.
The Trust are looking for an experienced and inspirational leader who can work with key stakeholders and become an ambassador for the organisation.

Reporting to:Service Manager
Support in Mind Scotland has a number of new exciting opportunities in its Tayside service for people who wish to support those with Mental Health needs. We are looking for caring empathic people who will be ready to help with compassion and understanding as well as humour and respect.
In these new roles, you will provide information, guidance and support to people in both one to one contact and groups. Personal Action Plansreflect individuals own goals and ambitions and take a recovery approach. Individual plans maximise income and consider other practical needs such as housing, employment, education and inclusion. We take a rights based approach to help empower and inform people, networking and advocating for them as necessary. Once a personal action plan is identified, the plan is delivered and reviewed within 6 months.
Together we want people to feel better about their mental as well as physical health, and as such feel connected and part of a local community where their voice matters.
Effective networking is at the heart of our service. You will work with colleagues and partners across the Tayside community to ensure people using our services needs are assessed and met.
Hearing Voices: Hearing Voices is an outreach service delivering one to one support, group sessions and remote support to people experiencing psychosis. Underpinned by a behavioural approach to the management of sensory disturbances and delivered within a model of peer support, this service enables individuals to shape their personal recovery. We place people we support at the centre of their own assessments and support packages where they identify their own goals to improve their circumstances and wellbeing and we support them to get the assistance they require within their community.
Resilience: Our proposed new Resilience Service will provide early information and support to people across Tayside who require assistance with their mental health needs. This early intervention and prevention model enabling access to joined-up services is a tested approach we currently deliver across Fife. The service will link people to a range of supports and providers across Tayside to identify needs early and together prevent unnecessary degeneration in someone’s mental health through promoting resilience and recovery.
CUThru: This post will engage with young people referred to Tayside’s Child and Mental Health Services (CAMHS) focussing on the Perth & Kinross area at this preliminary stage. SiMS wishes to promote its support to 16- to 24-year-olds and has been funded by the Perth & Kinross Mental Health Partnership to engage with young people to identify support and information they would like that would contribute to the following outcomes:
- Young people have better physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
- Young people have better connections with the wider community.
- Young people get access to new skills and training opportunities that will help them to manage further education or get a job.
The service will build relations with CAMHS colleagues as well as supports and providers to enable young people to integrate into their local community and minimise the need for statutory or hospital-based services.
All services will benefit from use of Support in Mind Scotland’s National Information Service and Money Advice Service provided in conjunction with Mental Health UK.
