The Scottish Police Authority is seeking an exceptional leader who can take the organisation through its next important chapter. As an experienced senior leader, you will play a key role in building capability and performance within one of Scotland's most important public bodies, overseeing the second largest police service in the UK, Police Scotland.

Your ability to foster and maintain strong working relationships with partners will be exemplary.
We are committed to developing a diverse and engaged workforce and to promoting an organisational culture where everyone is treated with dignity, fairness and respect. We particularly welcome applications from groups currently under-represented in Scotland's senior leadership roles.
