A new community-led care initiative is launching in rural Perthshire and is looking for an inspiring leader to drive it forward.

Heartland Cares Ltd, a start-up social enterprise, is seeking a Chief Executive Officer / Home Care Manager to help build a home care service for remote communities in the Rannoch, Dunkeld and Birnam areas.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape an innovative, community-centred care model from the ground up, working with a committed Board and local partners. The role involves leading service development, managing staff and volunteers, building relationships with stakeholders, and ensuring regulatory compliance and finance management. The successful candidate will also be the public face of the organisation, championing the benefits of community-based care.

Heartland Cares aims to ensure people in rural Perthshire can access the care they need within their own communities, supporting better outcomes and quality of life.

The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, hold a Level 7 practitioner qualification (meeting SSSC criteria), and bring experience of managing care services in a community setting.

If you’d like to be part of an innovative social enterprise, download the Job Application Pack and apply by Friday 8 August 2025 at 5pm*. For more information or to apply, contact Dr Susan Warren at: susanwarren@sksscotland.co.uk.
