Head of People & Corporate Services
The Robertson Trust
Robertson House in Glasgow city centre with regular time spent at The Barracks Conference Centre in Stirling
£70-80,000
We are an independent funder, half-way through a ten-year commitment to our mission. In our current three-year Plan running to March 2025, we will have committed an average of £25 million per year to charities working in Scotland. We are preparing an ambitious growth plan for the coming years.
We are ambitious in how we go about delivering on our mission. We are open to new ideas, perspectives and challenge. We know that we will only achieve lasting solutions to poverty and trauma by getting closer to those who are experts by experience as well as the partners who serve them.
We recognise we have the greatest chance of success if our staff team draws upon a wide range of experience and knowledge. Increased diversity is a key focus for us. We want to enrich the range of experience and insight we currently have in our team by encouraging applications from people with a variety of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds and life experiences.
THE ROLE
As an organisation of more than 50 staff across two locations, we have created a new leadership role on our senior team and are now seeking a qualified senior HR professional with experience of IT and facilities. You will be ready to lead our work in these foundational areas and you will bring a demonstrable track record leading an effective People/HR function. You will have a commitment to our mission and demonstrate values-based leadership in developing our culture.
This is an exciting new role, and you will provide a dedicated lead for our People/HR, IT and Facilities support across two locations: our main offices at Robertson House in Glasgow and The Barracks Conference Centre in Stirling. The role involves a strong degree of collaboration with other teams at the Trust to ensure effective delivery for those we are here to serve, and a culture of ongoing improvement.
