Previous Opportunities

We are recruiting for a Director of Finance and Corporate Services: the post-holder will be a key member of our leadership team, working with our volunteer Board of local tenants and residents to drive forward our ambitious plans for business growth and development, to serve the community of Shettleston.

We are looking for an inspirational leader, committed to the ethos and values of the Association, who will develop and provide direction to the finance and corporate services team whilst helping to provide strategic direction to the organisation as a whole.

The post holder will have strong ambition to improve services, performance and value for money and support the growth of our overall business.
