The Care Inspectorate is now looking for an exceptional Chief Executive to lead the organisation and inspire our employees to outstanding levels of performance.
Our Chief Executive reports to the Chair of the Care Inspectorate and will work with Scottish Government and other strategic partners.
The role will be challenging and rewarding, and offers a significant opportunity to take forward a national organisation during a period of unprecedented and exciting change.
The transformational change affecting the care sector in Scotland requires fresh and creative thinking that puts human rights, assessments of outcomes, and an understanding of wellbeing, at the heart of all we do.
We require an inspirational and dynamic leader with a track record of leadership at senior management level within an organisation of comparable size and complexity.
A good understanding of scrutiny, a proven track record in a sector related to the Care Inspectorate’s field of work, and demonstrable experience in the challenge of delivering a complex and demanding business plan is also highly important.
The Chief Executive will drive and support the significant and major changes to the provision of services for children and young people, changes to adult and older people services and significant change in community justice.
Given the rapidly developing nature of social policy, political acuity and the ability to work with politicians is an important requirement. The Chief Executive will have to be both flexible and agile in ensuring the Care Inspectorate continues to play its role in Scotland’s scrutiny and improvement landscape as the future unfolds.
The experience in leading and engaging staff through a sustained programme of change is vital. The ability to visualise, plan, lead and drive the scale of change required to further establish the Care Inspectorate as the leading scrutiny and improvement organisation is also key.
** The anticipated starting salary is within the lower quartile of the pay range. There is no automatic entitlement to pay progression. Scottish Government approval is required for all aspects of the Chief Executive's pay.
