Trust is one of Scotland’s leading social landlords and care providers, with over 50 years’ experience of providing high-quality, affordable homes and delivering exceptional services. We are a national organisation that is very much rooted in our communities, and we have grown from 2500 to almost 4000 homes since 2019.

Trust specialises in providing housing and services for households of all ages – including general needs and mid-market rent– and we are one of the country’s largest providers of housing, care, and support for later living.

Trust is much more than a landlord though. We are an organisation that cares, and we are here to make a positive difference to the lives of our customers and communities. We are proud of our values and people are at the heart of everything we do.

We are now seeking to appoint an outstanding CEO. This is an exciting time to lead Trust as we come to the end of our current business strategy. The strategy has been transformational, underpinned by technology, and the next strategy – from 2026 onwards – provides an opportunity to build on these capabilities and lead Trust into a new chapter.

Reporting to the Board, you will provide strategic leadership, shape and deliver our vision, and inspire a culture that reflects our values. You will strive for exceptional customer and colleague experiences, and ensure that we act responsibly and sustainably, and that we continue to achieve our purpose while also being commercially astute.

The CEO will be responsible for working with the Board and Leadership Team to set and deliver our long-term strategy, strengthening our financial resilience and governance, and ensuring we thrive in an evolving and challenging environment. You will lead a high-performing senior team, driving growth, embracing digital innovation, and fostering strong external partnerships that expand our horizons and bring new ideas and perspectives.

This is a pivotal leadership role that requires vision, boldness and the ability to influence at the highest level. You will bring a proven record as a senior leader in a complex, people-centred organisation, with the skills to balance social impact with financial sustainability. You will be adept at building strong relationships, guiding change and championing digital transformation, and ensuring that Trust continues to set new standards.

We are looking for a visionary and modern leader who shares our values, and is ready to take Trust forward with confidence, integrity and ambition.
