Creating positive change and developing the services will greatly impact the lives of many, including the friends and family of Viewpoint customers.

The appointed candidate will inspire, innovate and evidence an excellent track record of leading and managing people. Experience of working with a range of key stakeholders, including the board, to ensure delivery of excellent service as well as maximising the use of assets and supporting growth.

This is a key appointment within housing and care in Scotland – Viewpoint’s long history and heritage makes it one of the most respected housing associations and care providers in the country. This role will be based in the Edinburgh office, with the scenic backdrop of Blackford Hill.
