We want to create a nation where walking is the natural choice for every day, local journeys; free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illnesses and social isolation. We want to achieve a better walking environment and to inspire people of all generations to walk more.

Top job! Head of Service – Substance Use, Homelessness and Justice
- Full time
- £50,000
- Flexible location throughout Scotland but must be willing to travel
- Closing 29th May 2022
Every one of us has the potential for a more fulfilling future. For some, that means leaving drugs, homelessness, or crime behind – discovering their self-worth, returning to a life of hope and making a new beginning. For you, it’s a role with huge scope for transforming people’s lives when they need it most.
As Head of Service, you’ll coordinate nine of our services across the country, leading our work on substance use, homelessness, and justice. With experience in the sector, you’ll know how interlinked these issues are. So, you’ll relish the chance to take a holistic approach to developing our services – not least as a member of our Adult Care Management team. Travelling around Scotland, you’ll guide our Service Managers, supervise our activities and consult both staff and service users, all to help shape the best services possible.
As a not-for-profit organisation and one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social care charities, CrossReach offer support to anyone in need and often those who’ve never had the opportunities many take for granted. To help us do that, we have a diverse 1,600-stong team, from school leavers to seasoned care professionals. Taking a leading role in that team needs an experienced manager of multi-million-pound budgets, of innovative strategies, and of capable, motivated people. It’s an incredible opportunity to take the next step up in your career.
And it could be the first of many. With us, you’ll have ongoing training, support for gaining professional qualifications and, potentially, opportunities for progression. Until then, you’ll find a role that’s rewarding in every sense. As well as a competitive salary, there’s a generous pension, health benefits, paid holiday and a range of leisure discounts.
The Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland (APRS) is the charity which promotes the care of all of Scotland’s rural landscapes. APRS is a registered charity, No SC016139. Further information about the work of APRS is at aprs.scot.
Our current Director John Mayhew retires at the end of 2022, so we plan to appoint a new Director by August to allow sufficient time for a handover period, probably during November. This will be an exciting time to lead this dynamic organisation, as there is great potential both to build on its recent successes and to grasp new opportunities.
Role
The Director leads and manages all aspects of the work of APRS on behalf of its Executive Committee. Key responsibilities include:
- Lead the development and delivery of the APRS business strategy, including developing and raising funds for new projects and managing existing projects and core activities

- Lead, manage and develop a small team of staff and volunteers
- Manage the charity’s governance, budget and resources
- Respond to requests for advice from APRS members and others on protecting their local landscapes through the planning system and other means
The successful candidate will have a thorough understanding and experience of Scotland’s political, landscape and planning systems. Chartered Membership of the Royal Town Planning Institute is highly desirable; a background in communications, landscape architecture or public affairs is also advantageous. They will have experience of working with politicians and senior government officials to achieve positive policy change, of developing and delivering successful projects and of managing small staff teams. Candidates should display a high level of communications and presentation skills, and a proven ability to deal diplomatically with strongly held opposing views.
