An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and experienced manager to oversee the day-to-day management of Cruse Scotland West Area, this includes our teams in Ayrshire & Arran; Dumfries; Dunbartonshire; Glasgow & Greater Glasgow; Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire.
Candidates are required to have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills to provide managerial support, which is often provided from a distance.

You will be required to establish effective working relationships with a range of Cruse Scotland volunteers and staff, as well as statutory funders and grant making trusts. Experience of volunteer management would be advantageous.
Due to the wide geographical spread of the role, the postholder will be required to travel occasionally to each of the service bases within our West Area; and to other locations within Scotland for meetings and training.
Whilst the role can be hybrid, we have recently secured a new office base in Glasgow so there will be a regular requirement to have a routine presence in the office.

Our work offers bereaved people the vital support they so badly need when someone close dies. We have a proven record of providing personalised, quality support to bereaved adults and children across Scotland over the last 50 years. During 2022-23 we delivered over 5,000 counselling sessions across Scotland – all of which was this provided by a skilled volunteer workforce – supported by just 22 members of staff. Our telephone helpline is also delivered by another volunteer team who responded to 9444 calls across the year!
This is an exciting time for the charity, in 2022 we launched a new 5-year strategy with ambitious plans for growth and development and are looking to strengthen our Board of Directors in order that they can further guide our success. The role of the Board of Directors is crucial to the success of Cruse Scotland, providing good governance, guidance and leadership at the highest level of the charity.

The Charity:
Cruse Scotland is the nation’s only open-to-all bereavement support charity, providing support to bereaved adults, families and children across Scotland for the last 50 years.
Research suggests there were approximately 50,000 people in need of bereavement support in Scotland in 21/22. The data shows that our staff and volunteers working together provided one to one support for approximately 10% of this population, with many more people being helped through information, training and group support. This shows a significant reach and impact for an organisation with a small staff infrastructure that is dependent almost entirely on highly skilled volunteers for service delivery. While this is a very significant achievement, we continue to work tirelessly to develop our services to enable us to reach even more people who need our help.
The positive impact of Cruse on those we support (in terms of improved mental and physical wellbeing, reduced need for GP and other medical assistance and earlier return to work) is clearly demonstrated by our evidence-based evaluation.
We have ambitious plans for growth and development to help us to reach more bereaved people and we are looking for an excellent candidate to lead the organisation to deliver our strategy.
