Job Requirements/Description

We are thrilled to announce an exciting partnership between Stafffinders and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), who are currently seeking an experienced Assistant Director to represent and communicate on behalf of the Scottish region, in order to shape and deliver better local services to support children, young people and their families in Scotland.

Although this is a remote position, we are looking to speak to professionals who are based in Scotland and have knowledge and expertise of Scottish laws and regulations relevant to the NSPCC.

What you will get in your new role
As the Assistant Director, you will be rewarded with an outstanding salary package of 65,000 per annum, reflecting your valuable contributions to the NSPCC team. Following a set shift pattern, your working hours will be Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm.

Your work will be predominantly remote, but occasional travel to other NSPCC regions will be required. Don't worry about expenses, as all travel costs will be covered by the employer. This will give you the opportunity to build strong relationships with colleagues and partners in other areas, whilst contributing to the wider success of the organisation.

In this role, you will also enjoy 29 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, an employer-enhanced pension scheme, access to thousands of discounts across a variety of brands, life assurance, and a fantastic employee assistance programme and wellness scheme.

Your new employer
With a legacy spanning over 130 years, the NSPCC is an exceptional organisation, widely recognised as the UK's leading charity for children. Their unwavering commitment to safeguarding children and preventing abuse has established them as an invaluable resource for families in need.

At the heart of the NSPCC's activities lies their mission to provide vital services that help to prevent child abuse and neglect as well as those that rebuild the lives of children and their families. Their comprehensive range of services focuses on empowering vulnerable children to live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

Responsibilities within your new role
As the Assistant Director, your role will involve implementing business plans to ensure a focused approach. You will be responsible for managing and overseeing the performance of multiple services, as well as providing line management to several direct reports.

You will act as the professional representative of the NSPCC in Scotland and will ensure effective safeguarding practices are implemented across all services in the region. This will be responsible for developing partnerships with a range of organisations to support in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Finally, you will be responsible for managing NSPCC's resources, both financial and non-financial, to ensure they are effectively allocated and compliant with the organisation's financial guidelines. You may also represent the NSPCC in media and corporate settings as required.

Your personality, experience and qualifications
You will require a recognised relevant professional qualification, or equivalent senior management experience, in managing service delivery in a safeguarding context. While previous experience in a similar role with a children's charity is preferred, we welcome applicants with senior leadership experience in any third-sector background. The candidate should possess the unique ability to identify and manage risk, making them an asset to our team.

As a leader, you should have a proven track record of engaging, motivating, managing and developing staff to achieve excellence, even during periods of change. Furthermore, they should be dedicated to modelling the society's values and behaviours, embodying the principles we hold dear. You will also display knowledge, understanding, and a deep commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of practice and behaviour.

This position is only available to applicants who have immediate Right to Work in the UK and you will be required to provide evidence of such upon request.
